Spreadsheet.com Shutting Down? Alternatives?
11 comments
I am not familiar with spreadsheet.com but look at these as possibilities.
Zoho Office works on the desktop and online. Free for individuals. (you mentioned it)

Apple office apps work online, and collaboratively. You probably don't need an iCloud plus account, just the free one, I think.
https://www.icloud.com/numbers/

They are MS-compatible.

Where is this announced exactly? Can't see it on their web page.
They sent out emails.
"We are sorry to share that we have made the difficult decision to shut down the Spreadsheet.com service, effective May 31, 2024."

There are some alternatives. Here's an overview:

Have you tried Google sheets?
It's the best out there, IMO.
The only issue is that it could disappear in a few months, but I don't think google would kill their MS Office competitor, which is doing more than fine.

Can’t they just sell the domain and recoup all their costs? That domain is probably worth at least a few million
There is a very active aftermarket for domain sales. So I'm sure they would be able to sell off this asset. Not sure it would be in the millions. But definitely in the 6-figures (US$xxx,xxx) range.
That's one thing about premium domain names, even if the company fails, the domain name is still valuable and more often than note, appreciates in value with time.
The cost of high end domain names continues to increase. An example, both Connect.com and Chat.com sold for $10M+ in the last few years.

A few million? Definitely not worth that much.
Airtable?
I'm not enamored by big tech (yes, including Microsoft Excel). I think most are old and clunky. Does anyone have advice on alternatives besides Google Suite? I'm thinking about going with https://www.thebricks.com/ or https://www.zoho.com/sheet/. Any others I should consider?
