Where GPTExcel wins

- Broader surface area: SQL, regex, VBA, Apps Script generators alongside formulas.
- Established affiliate program — easier for them to grow through referrals.
Where FormulaCraft wins
- Verified execution: every formula is run on real sample data via HyperFormula before you trust it. GPTExcel returns formula strings; we return formula strings that actually evaluate.
- /audit — upload an .xlsx and we scan every cell for broken formulas. GPTExcel has no equivalent.
- Free verification with no signup at /verify — paste a formula, see the result. Useful even if you never use the generator.
- INR billing via Razorpay for Indian users; GPTExcel only ships USD.
- 5 free formulas/day with no signup; their free tier requires an account.
