Thanks. We think it justifies the time saving of doing manual exports and keeping Sheets connected to the database - this way data can be easily refreshed by re-running the query. We looked around similar tools and found pricing to be fairly competitive

I think its competitive. Many businesses run off of spreadsheets, and armies of folks enter data into them manually or with great integration pain. Self-serve business data in sheet form is pretty much the ideal UX for something on the order of millions of business knowledge workers. $30/mo is a pittance for that superpower.

Its certainly more affordable than Tableau and other traditional BI tools.

The userbase is probably not well represented on HN...
