Which plan to pickIf you already pay for Claude, you have it. Try it on Free first, and move to Pro once you're making more than the odd document, because decks use up a Free allowance fast. Team makes sense when colleagues need to open and comment on the same documents.Standard covers most individuals; watch the usage dashboard on your first big job. Move to Business when several people need it or you want to run it on your own AI account.Start on the free Personal plan with a real data set. If you use it every week, Pro is enough for most people; move to Business only if you keep running out of AI credits. Monthly billing costs about 10% more than the yearly prices shown.

Pros and cons

AttributeClaude Docs & SlidesGPT for WorkQuadratic
Pros
  • No extra subscription if you already use Claude, and Free can try it

  • Edit directly or by asking, without copying text into another app

  • Direct database connections, no exporting CSVs
  • Handles much larger data sets than Excel or Google Sheets
  • Useful free plan and fair entry price
  • MCP server and API, so Claude can work with your sheets
Cons
  • No brand templates in Slides, so decks look generic next to Claude Design or Gamma
  • Rewriting a long doc eats your Claude usage limits quickly, especially on Free and Pro
  • Rough edges on complex formatting, and co-editing and version history are lighter than Google Docs
  • Decks are starting to look recognisably "made by Claude" to clients

  • Token-based billing makes big jobs on top models hard to predict
  • No ongoing free plan
  • Results across thousands of rows need spot-checking
  • Each plan covers either the Sheets or the Excel add-on, not both
  • Much more useful if you can read some Python or SQL
  • Overkill if you only need help with the odd formula
  • AI credits run out quickly for heavy users
  • Small community, so fewer templates and tutorials than Excel or Sheets
  • Few independent reviews yet, as it is a newer product
