An AI-powered spreadsheet app now being wound down after Superhuman acquired Rows and folded it into Superhuman Docs.
Rows was a spreadsheet application built around AI and live data connections. Users could ask an AI Analyst chat feature to run calculations or analysis, use AI Vision to pull tables out of PDFs and images, and pull live data into cells through built-in integrations instead of copying and pasting by hand. Plans were priced per user with a monthly allowance of 'AI Tasks' capping how much of the AI features a team could use. As of this writing, Superhuman has acquired Rows, and the company's site now directs users to Superhuman Docs for support, meaning the standalone Rows product is being phased out rather than actively developed.
This is not a safe pick for a new, long-term spreadsheet or analytics rollout, given the Superhuman acquisition; confirm current availability and support plans directly with Superhuman before evaluating it further. A team that already relies on Rows for lightweight AI spreadsheets and data enrichment should plan a transition to Superhuman's replacement offering or another spreadsheet tool rather than expanding usage. For reference, Rows previously priced its Plus plan near $8 per user per month and its Pro plan at $79 a month plus $8 per user, useful only as historical context. Any new evaluation in this category should look at actively maintained alternatives, such as a spreadsheet tool with AI add-ons or a dedicated BI tool.

Estimate assumptions: This scenario uses a category-based allowance, not a verified price for this product. Based on 1 production workspace. Confirm the vendor’s billing unit and current price or quote before budgeting.
Benefits have not been estimated: The current research does not estimate potential savings, return on investment, or how long it would take to recover the cost. Earlier benefit estimates are excluded.
Confirm current product identity, commercial packaging, data processing terms, sign-in and access rules, retention, integrations, support model, implementation effort, and rollback conditions.
Verify identity, package, availability, ownership, pricing, and security evidence before approving a pilot
Do not approve a pilot yet. Verify the current product identity, package, availability, owner, pricing, and security evidence; then define one workflow, a baseline, and rollback criteria.
Define what success looks like for a test of Rows AI and assign someone to lead it.
Once the requirements above are met, compare a small trial with how your team works today.
Track adoption, output quality, business results, and actual costs against the estimate.
Use the results to decide whether to stop, adjust, or expand the pilot.
Confirm encryption, how the vendor uses your data, customer data separation, how long data stays and how to delete it, activity records, sign-in and user setup, where data is handled, other companies that process data, past incidents, and what your team must manage.
Review before rollout: confirm how to export your data, revoke access, and return to your existing workflow. Assign an owner and test the rollback plan before expanding use.
