There are even some open source projects in this space. Why not?

  Yeah, and why not ask them or use their own product features to compare product details... One might even learn something about leverage offered by the tools...likely not a conspiracy to meaninglessly suck up funding

  It's already a pretty boring space to build a product for, but this feels kind of surreal with this much competition and lack of product differentiation. Like having all these super catered names like Rows.com and Spreadsheet.com but if you go on the actual home pages they pretty much look like carbon copies of each other in terms of what they do and their features. I'm not even sure if this whole category has that much product market fit so I'm asking, it feels like a solution looking for a problem to me.

    Boring spaces can be really profitable. Besides that, I agree with you. Many companies already use excel because they are deep into the Microsoft stack. A lot of companies won't pay for another solution to do spreadsheeting. I didn't check all of these tools but often there is some automatic data ingestion, automatic dashboard generation, ... which might make it more valuable in the long for data driven businesses.

      > Boring spaces can be really profitable. A book I read a long time ago about startups said, in effect, if you really want to make money, start a trash-hauling company. If you want to make money doing computer stuff, continue reading this book.
