Spread Simple - simple but great
Today "speed and simple" means the world. And SpreadSimple has both.
PROSSpread Simple is indeed very simple to use and deploy. I was so amazed to learn that with the ready-made templates of Spread Simple, I can create a website with thousand of items, including photos, descriptions, everything by simply inputting / importing into a Google Sheet. It is also so simple to change / edit / remove / add items, simply by revising the spreadsheet. With Spread Simple, I can create so so many websites to my liking, you name it: e-commerce, books, movies listing, restaurant menus - the only limit is my imagination.
CONSI would hope that Spread Simple has more and more templates. It would be greatly helpful for users who are busy (like me) to deploy it easier.

Does what it promises to do and does it great - launch websites from Google Sheets in a jiffy
- I have used SpreadSimple for an experimental side project of mine where it picks up from a spreadsheet I have and builds a website out of it using the fields mapped. Given it's an e-commerce site, SpreadSimple was the perfect choice for it as very few nocode tools can build sites from Google Sheets without having you pay a fortune before you can even validate your idea
PROS- I can bring my own sheets rather than being confined to a predefined template - Mapping the fields on my sheet to the fields in the app - Live reload, update your sheet and it's updated on the site within seconds - Great support - I reached out well past midnight and yet, I got quick support from the [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] himself - Roadmap - Spreadsimple has a great roadmap planned for making e-commerce sites from Google Sheets a reality and I'm excited about the roadmap
CONS- Caching options: As it has to do live reload, the product does not offer any caching mechanism right now, which results in slower load times and lower scores in Pagespeed tests - Ecommerce focused: Spreadsimple is very e-commerce focused - what this means is the common use-case for building nocode sites, which is to build curated directories/lists, cannot be built with this product yet
Reason for choosing SpreadSimple
Pory - Too restrictive - I was limited to use only the templates they provided and in a specific way they worked. Sheet2Site - Too expensive for what it does - it costs ~$700/year just to get started and ~$1000/year for hosting any decent site. I can host 10 sites for that price with SpreadSimple and still have some change left over.
Vendor Response
Hello Lakshmi! Thank you for the feedback! Though our focus is on e-commerce, we are also working on adding new features that will make SpreadSimple more flexible and fit for many other needs besides creating an e-store. E.g. we already added the list-style card layout and a template for job boards with a form to collect user contributions.

1. Use Google Sheet to make daily work more efficient and easy to work together. You can easily create, edit and share spreadsheets, tables, etc., and you can easily collaborate with colleagues online and update data at any time.意外的泄露。2. What needs improvement is that when creating complex reports and charts, you need to learn more about the use of complex functions. In addition, a high degree of confidentiality and security of data needs to be maintained to avoid accidental disclosure.
PROSGoogle Sheets is a powerful cloud-based spreadsheet tool that's easy to use and free. It presents data and graphs quickly and clearly in the same worksheet, which makes editing and sharing easier than traditional spreadsheets.
CONSThe disadvantage is that it requires a stable network connection, and sometimes it may take a long time to load. In addition, its function is relatively simple, suitable for processing a small amount of data.

Spreadsimple is... just that, simple
My experience with Spreadsimple is very positive, but I don't expect more than it can give. I know that Spreadsimple is for building very simple websites and getting to market fast. If I want to do a bigger project, I have to change platform. I also use it to enrich the contents of a website built in wordpress and I like it a lot.
PROSSpreadsimple allows you to create web pages based on Google spreadsheets. The system is extremely simple and in a very short time you can have a website online. It is a very good alternative to build directories or repositories of any kind. Spreadsimple can also be a good option to create an e-commerce and assess if a product can fit in the market.
CONSSpreadsimple is great, but it has the limitations of a website built on Google spreadsheets. For example, working on SEO has its limitations with this system. The current templates are limited, although I believe the team will continue to create new templates.

Best bang for your buck for a superfast way to create a website from Google Sheets without code
I used it to setup a very niche job board, just as a weekend project: - incredibly fast to setup (was up and running, incl custom domain in less than 1hr!) - price level is great for a hobby project of which I'm not sure how long it will last - AMAZING SUPPORT! Refat went way out of his way by helping me improve my Google sheet by adding some formulas that really powered up this whole site - very simple and straightforward, no frills
CONS- I guess it could have some more customizations regarding the type of fields that are displayed, and how/where they are displayed, but for my use case it's not really crucial.
Reason for choosing SpreadSimple
Price & simplicity.
Vendor Response

Concerning the customization options, some of the things you mentioned can be done using custom code, and we are ready to help you with that if you'd like. And more features that will expand the customization options are coming soon! Thank you for your review!

Probably the easiest way to start your online store and directory page
Very good
PROSSpreadSimple is such a great tool with a clean UI and great UX that allows you to build an e-commerce website, retail estate listing, car-for-sale listing, job listing, video listing, etc. just from your Google sheets. Initially, I couldn't believe it myself so I bought a code to give it a try! It is quite easy to use and it allows you to create a professional-looking website that you can use to list & sell your products and any listings that you wish to publish.
CONSBetter page loading performance - the websites are painfully slow to load! I'm based in Asia (Philippines) so it could be the distance to the SpreadSimple server that is causing this issue.

Turn Idea into Real Project Simple and Fast
It's been great. It had a few shortcomings and features that were a bit lacking. But the team is making progress to perfect those areas. I can't say they push updates blazingly fast, but they are steadily pushing updates.
PROSIt's great that its data is connected to a google spreadsheet. You can make your website very quickly with the data you already have.
CONSMarkdown is good, but I wish there was drag and drop type of builder. But then again, I can use other software to build the framework and embed spreadsimple to do the data part.

Easy and fast way to turn a Google Sheet into a website
With SpreadSimple I built a directory for our company’s internal use. The data included various information like images and links to external sources and SpreadSimple's card layout was a great solution to present everything in a more visual and aesthetic way. And it literally took no more than 20 minutes to set everything up so it appeared to be a great time-saver too.
PROSThe speed and simplicity of use are quite impressive. The setting up process is quick and easy, and if the data is already stored in Google Sheets, only some customization is required. Also, there are various options for sorting and filtering which is quite helpful in dealing with big amount of data. The Google Sheet as CMS is another advantage as it allows managing the data right in the spreadsheet using all the formatting or formulas necessary, so it saves lots of time and doesn't require any special knowledge. Also, this way all the team members with the right to access can manage the content as well.
CONSThough all the templates look styled and appealing, all of them are driven to e-commerce which isn't my case exactly. It's not a deal-breaker as all the templates are easy to customize, but it would be nice to have some other options designed for directories and listings.
Vendor Response
Hello Anastasia! We are currently working on new templates that could work for more cases besides e-commerce. And we'll definitely take into consideration your suggestions. Thank you for your feedback!

A quick site builder for Google Sheets lovers !
I built a full delivery e business for a friend, in one hour including orders managements, whatsapp integration. Then i added Zapier and CRM integration in another 20 minutes. impressive
PROSI like the fact that you do 80% of the job at the Google Sheets level (even CSS classes) (The other 20% are related to design/layout or some integrations and have to be done from Spreadsimple backoffice) they offer "quick templates" (Google Sheets templates + layout template) such as e commerce web site, listing web site, restaurant (menu) web site etc. Relying on Google Sheet offers endless possibilities, specially if you combine with automations and API calls to automatically fill your Sheets. (Sheet automatically updated via API calls >>> web site automatically updated !) Support team is very friendly, reactive and skilled. they helped me find a workaround in the SKU=0 case in E commerce web site. Spreadsimple offers Webhooks for automation It has a native integration with Zapier too
CONSIt lacks some feature for e commerce web sites such as discount codes, or filters (something like "only display product if sku < 1 ")

Great and simple tool to put your web online
Just test it to check possibilities, you´ll be surprised for the ease of use and quickness to setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. I´m selling, or making affiliates webs quicker than ever. With just a Google Sheet, you can focus on get traffic, not on the web.
PROSSimplicity: just a Google Sheet and configure some options. Voilà, you have a good-looking web ready to sell :) You have the option to load your scripts, configure styles, appearance, and with a simple and intuitive interface.
CONSI Think nothing is what i dislike... probably I miss some options, but are on the Roadmap to be ready soon :) In a near future, integrations with Paypal and other payment options will be available. Also, new pages, product pages, attributes... etc. Will be a great tool

So many possibilities
Few days ago, spreadsimple was on appsumo. I bought 10 codes after testing it. It gives so many possibilities and the roadmap is very exciting too. Grab, together with this deal, the course Better sheets and it"ll give you tons of ideas!
CONSThe only thing that is really a stupid idea in my point of vue is the google login and the fact that, even with 10 codes, there is no way to create sub-accounts! That's stupid when you know that plenty of sumolings are agencies.
