rose it's a spreadsheeting application that allows you to create charts import data from popular
applications and be able to create some really stunning spreadsheets today we're going to be
exploring whether it's worth it and what actually stands out compared to the likes of google sheets
in this video now if you're new here hello my name is francesco and welcome to keep productive we've
also just launched a big new course called bento methodology course and there is an app alongside
it so i'll include those in description below if you fancy checking it out so let's start
with major features um this application markets itself as a slick design built-in integrations
and revolution is sharing it's aiming to be a spreadsheet that your team can access and be able
to use to create beautiful charts import data from popular applications and be able to weave
that all into one to be able to share externally or internally now it does have a gorgeous design
it has to be said from the outset this application looks so much better than the likes of google
sheets looks very remarkably similar to coda as well you can create pages and those pages are
spreadsheets instead of necessarily having tabs and what's nice as well is the charts look very
easy to use and very attractive they also allow you a whole host of built-in integrations like
google analytics facebook instagram and much more which seemingly are popular with marketing and
sales there's also an api for connecting to other services and they do have some advanced abilities
with the script editing now after playing around with this i was able to make a pretty
simple table and create a chart from it without any issues i also like the templating abilities
however the thing that i struggle with is how remarkably similar i would be able to do and
replicate this in the likes of google sheets and as you can imagine if you're a team that's got
quite a few people and google sheets is obviously going to be probably more cost effective than an
application like this although you do get the stunning design and some of the more advanced
abilities with being able to use the script editor although you do get that inside of google sheets
now i'm going to skip to the score in summary i really did like the design of this application but
in comparison with google sheets i was struggling to find things that were vastly different from it
and if you do look at the pricing got it here in front of me it's actually got a free plan
with unlimited workspace members but there is a actual storage limit to this 500 megabytes
which should get you quite far but their plus plan is 59 per month and that's per workspace
so obviously it's not bad because you can get a fair few people in there however it just seems
like a little bit of a less bet than the likes of google sheets and something i would actually like
to be explained a bit more to i think the benefits to this compared to some of the other ones is the
live capabilities are really nice for sharing with clients especially if you were sharing with
a marketing agency i can see how an application like rose would be more attractive so i think
they're trying to target more of the marketing and sales audiences so probably recommend it more for
that more for the sort of external uh ability to share things and have them updated in real time
now i'm gonna give this an application a c plus if you're looking for something that gives you these
similar abilities google sheets is probably gonna do you there but as you can imagine the design is
something that steps them up a bit further um it looks a lot like coda in terms of its design
but obviously doesn't do as much i know coda does some of these abilities too so this application
sticks at a c plus for me anyway folks i hope you enjoyed this feature thank you very much
