Crunchy Sheets
An AI financial analyst that shows its work
Ask your Google Sheets workbook questions in plain English. Crunchy Sheets builds the analysis with live formulas — not pasted numbers — traces every figure to its source cells, and previews every change before it touches your sheet.
Free to start. No credit card. It reads only the spreadsheet you have open.
Every number, tied to source
Ask “prove it” and Crunchy builds a proof tab: each figure is a live formula pointing at the cells it came from, with a CHECK row that has to reconcile. If the check doesn’t tie out, it says so — it never papers over a gap with a typed-in number.

How it works
Install and open the sidebar
One click from the Google Workspace Marketplace. Then Extensions → Crunchy Sheets → Open.
Ask anything
"What's driving this variance?" — or — "Explain what this formula is doing."
Review and apply
Every proposed change is previewed. Apply all at once, one by one, or skip. After applying, Crunchy Sheets re-checks its own output — error cells, hardcoded numbers, tie-outs.
Built for serious finance work
Month-end close, forecasts, board reporting, audit prep — the long, exception-riddled requests startup finance teams actually make. Seventy-three rows, six categories, row-specific carve-outs: that kind of instruction is the job, not the edge case.
Formula X-Ray
Trace any formula back to its source cells. Understand what that 20-section monster is actually doing — in plain English. Made for inherited models nobody dares touch.
Prove It
Ask it to prove its answer. It builds a color-coded tab tracing every number back to source, with a CHECK row that has to tie out.
Variance Analysis
Full P&L variance analysis. Top drivers identified, quantified, and explained — with formulas, not pasted values.
Format & Organize
Blue for hardcodes, black for formulas — your formatting conventions, applied everywhere. Models anyone can read at a glance.
QuickBooks Online
Pull P&L, balance sheet, and transaction reports from QBO straight into the sheet — no export, no copy-paste.
Tab Audit
Finds unused tabs, orphaned formulas, and cross-reference gaps. Tells you what's safe to delete.
“The good sense and intuition is still up to you.”
Pricing
Free
$0$6 of analysis credit to start — enough for a real evaluation, including Prove It. Then a small monthly allowance for quick analyses.
Plus
$20/moRoughly 120 quick analyses or 18 deep ones a month. The plan most individual finance folks land on.
Pro
$100/moRoughly 600 quick or 90 deep analyses a month. For daily modeling and month-end work.
Max
$200/moRoughly 1,200 quick or 180 deep analyses a month. For heavy multi-workbook use.
Analysis counts are approximate — they vary with workbook size and complexity. Deep analyses are the heavier ones: Prove It, Formula X-Ray, cash flow forecasts, scenario models.
Free to start. No credit card. It reads only the spreadsheet you have open.

- ## What is Crunchy Sheets?
- Crunchy Sheets is an add-on for Google Sheets™ that works like a financial analyst in your sidebar: it runs P&L variance analyses, builds cash flow forecasts and KPI dashboards, explains formulas, and audits tabs — using your actual data, with every proposed change previewed before it touches the sheet.
- ## How does Crunchy Sheets work?
- Install it from the Google Workspace Marketplace™, open the sidebar via Extensions → Crunchy Sheets → Open, and type a question or command in plain English. The AI reads your spreadsheet's structure, proposes changes, and lets you preview and apply them — all at once, one by one, or not at all.
- ## How is Crunchy Sheets different from Gemini in Sheets or ChatGPT?
- Gemini is built into Google Sheets and is genuinely good general spreadsheet help — for most people, most of the time, it's the right tool. Crunchy Sheets is built for a narrower job: finance work that has to hold up to review. It writes live formulas instead of pasted values, previews every change before applying, re-checks its own output after applying (error cells, hardcoded numbers, tie-outs that don't reconcile), and can build a Prove-It tab tracing any answer back to source cells. If you're doing month-end close, board reporting, or a forecast someone else will scrutinize, that's the lane Crunchy Sheets is for.
- ## Is my data safe with Crunchy Sheets?
- Crunchy Sheets can only access the spreadsheet you have open — never your Drive, email, or other files. Spreadsheet content is processed in real time and discarded; it is never stored long-term or used to train AI models. See the security page for scopes, subprocessors, and data handling.
- ## What can Crunchy Sheets do?
- Run variance analysis and identify P&L drivers, build cash flow forecasts and scenario models, explain complex formulas and trace their dependencies (Formula X-Ray), build proof tabs that tie every number to source (Prove It), create KPI dashboards, color-code models by hardcodes vs formulas, categorize expenses, pull QuickBooks Online reports, and audit workbooks for unused tabs and broken references.
- ## How much does Crunchy Sheets cost?
- Free to start: new accounts get $6 of analysis credit — enough for a real evaluation, including Prove It and Formula X-Ray — then a small monthly free allowance for quick analyses. Paid plans are Plus ($20/month), Pro ($100/month), and Max ($200/month), sized by how much analysis they include.
- ## Does Crunchy Sheets work with Excel?
- No. Crunchy Sheets is built specifically as a Google Sheets™ add-on and requires a Google Workspace™ or personal Google account. It does not support Microsoft Excel.
