Yeah, this is a great service but the pricing doesn't make sense (even after the free tier). 10$ a month (!!!) and it still wouldn't fit my use case with only 1500 rows. The convenience is nice but considering Google/Microsoft is paying for most of the hosting, cell computation and so on, not sure why a wrapper around an API is so expensive.
Time is money and this saves a tonne of it. You're free to code everything yourself and save that tiny amount of money of course if you like. Different people have different priorities.
i'm using Google Sheets for a Coronavirus Tracker http://amarillo.land/coronavirus.html but i'm not enthused with the performance. This looks very interesting!
