In short: is the Power Formulas lifetime deal worth it?

Power Formulas is a Google Sheets add-on that calls AI models, APIs and SQL from spreadsheet formulas, sold as a lifetime deal on AppSumo at $55 for one user, $110 for five and $165 for unlimited users. Model usage runs on an API key you supply and is billed by your own provider, so unlimited means uncapped by the licence rather than free. Refunds run 60 days.

Is it worth it at $55?

Read off the plans, the founder's own posting history and the terms the sale site states

If you already hold an AI provider key and live in Google Sheets, yes, and the licence is unusually clean about what it covers. If you do not have a key, the price buys a tool you cannot yet run, and that is the first thing to settle.

What follows is a read of the sale page, the licence terms and the published rating record, checked on 14 September 2026. Nobody here ran the software.

  • Unlimited usage means the licence does not cap you, not that generation is free. The tokens are billed by your own provider, so the running cost scales with use and sits entirely outside this purchase.
  • The sale page's summary of buyer complaints refers to exceeding property storage quota, which is a Google Apps Script limit rather than a vendor one and bites on heavy sheets.
  • Nineteen ratings is a very small sample, and the reviews run from 2023 to late 2025. One reviewer refers to paying $39 for the licence, so the price on this listing has moved since earlier rounds.
  • The tiers buy seats and nothing else. One user at $55, five at $110 and unlimited at $165, with the same formulas and the same uncapped usage on all three.

What you actually get

Every tier describes usage as unlimited. That is accurate and it means the licence places no cap on you, not that the model calls cost nothing. The calls are billed by whoever you hold the key with: the listing names OpenAI and a later update adds Anthropic, Google AI and Cohere, so you choose the provider and the model, and you pay the provider directly for the tokens the formulas consume.

That arrangement is the better one for a licence meant to last. A tool with an included credit pool has to meter you eventually, and metering is how a permanent licence quietly turns back into a subscription. Here nobody has a reason to ration you, and a cheaper model next year is a setting rather than a renegotiation. The trade is that the bill never reaches zero, and a careless formula dragged down a thousand rows is a thousand API calls.

Scheduled hourly and daily refreshes are included on all three tiers, which is the feature that turns a sheet from something you recalculate into something that maintains itself.

One limit comes from Google rather than from the founder. The sale page's own summary of buyer complaints mentions exceeding property storage quota, which is an Apps Script limit and the kind of constraint that appears only once a sheet is large. Worth testing at realistic size inside the 60 day window rather than on a small sample.

Which tier to buy

One user, five users, or unlimited. Every tier carries the same formulas, the same API and SQL access, and the same uncapped usage, so there is no capability to grow into and no allowance to outrun. The only question is how many people need the add-on in their own Google account, which makes this one of the simplest tier decisions on the site.

Buy the single seat if you have a provider key, you work in Google Sheets, and you want model calls and API pulls as formulas rather than as a separate tool. Buy the team or unlimited tier only for seats, since nothing else changes.

Walk if you wanted AI generation included in the price. AahSheet Lifetime Deal is the closest comparison here, also spreadsheet-based and also bring your own key, with the important difference that it carries no refund window at all.

How fast it pays for itself

No monthly plan to compare against. Power Formulas is sold as a one-off licence rather than a subscription, and the running cost is whatever your own AI provider charges for the tokens the formulas consume. There is no recurring vendor plan to measure a payback against.

Every figure here assumes the founder keeps the price and the product alive for as long as the comparison runs.

What buyers reported

AppSumo shows 4.89 from 19 reviews. That is their number, not ours.

Power Formulas averages 4.89 across 19 ratings. Nineteen is too small a sample to generalise from, and the reviews run from 2023 to late 2025 rather than clustering in one week.

They are consistent about what the tool is for. Reviewers describe parsing scraped page text into structured columns, connecting APIs without writing code, and using the SQL access alongside the AI formulas. One from 2023 refers to paying $39 for the licence, so the price on this listing has risen since earlier rounds, which is ordinary and worth knowing if you are comparing against something you read elsewhere.

The founder replies to reviews, though the replies in the sample cluster in 2024, and the most recent product update on the listing is the addition of further model providers.

Who it suits, and who it doesn't

Both halves worked out from the limits and terms above, not from who the founder says it is for

Worth buying if you are

  • Analysts who already hold an AI provider key and work in Google Sheets
  • Small teams wanting seats without a per-seat monthly charge
  • People pulling API or SQL data into sheets without writing code

Not worth buying for

  • Anyone expecting included AI usage, because every model call is billed by the provider whose key you supply
  • People who do not already have or want an API key, since setting one up is a prerequisite rather than an optional extra
  • Large spreadsheets, given the listing's own note about buyers exceeding Google's property storage quota

What it sits alongside

Common questions about the Power Formulas deal

Does Power Formulas include the AI usage?

No. It runs on an API key you supply, and the listing names OpenAI alongside later support for Anthropic, Google AI and Cohere. The licence covers the add-on and the formulas while the model calls are billed by your own provider account, which also means you choose the models.

What do the higher tiers add?

Users only. One user at $55, five at $110 and unlimited at $165. Every tier carries the same formulas, the same API and SQL access and the same uncapped usage, so the ladder is about how many people need it.

Can it refresh data automatically?

Yes. The listing includes hourly and daily scheduled refreshes among the features on every plan, so a sheet can keep itself current rather than needing to be reopened and recalculated by hand.

Which providers can the formulas call?

OpenAI is named on the listing, and a later update adds Anthropic, Google AI and Cohere. You supply the key and choose the model, so the provider bills you for the tokens rather than the licence covering them.

Do the higher tiers add features?

No, only seats. One user, five users and unlimited users carry the same formulas, the same API and SQL access and the same uncapped usage.
