The short version
- Each has a real cost: Pitch free plan is capped at a one time 100 AI credits and 2 external guests; Rows refresh frequency is the metered resource, so the free plan refreshes manually only and daily automation begins on the paid tier, which means the automatic reporting that justifies the tool is exactly what the free plan withholds.

Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Pitch
- Free plan is capped at a one time 100 AI credits and 2 external guests
- Enterprise features such as SAML based SSO and SCIM are gated behind a 30 plus seat custom plan
- The 17 percent discount on Plus, Team and Business plans requires annual billing
Rows
- Refresh frequency is the metered resource, so the free plan refreshes manually only and daily automation begins on the paid tier, which means the automatic reporting that justifies the tool is exactly what the free plan withholds.
- Exports carry values rather than connections, so a downloaded file from Rows is a dead snapshot and anything you built has to be reconstructed from scratch elsewhere, which makes recurring reports quietly expensive to move.
- Guests are capped by tier at three on free and ten on the entry plan, so sharing a report with a client's team or a group of stakeholders pushes you up a tier for people who only ever look at a page.
- It is not Excel or Google Sheets, so the function library, add-ins, pivot behaviour, scripting and offline files people rely on are not all present, and it works as a reporting surface rather than as an organisation's general spreadsheet.
- The Pro tier adds a fixed monthly platform charge on top of the per-user price, so moving from daily to intra-day refresh, or from ten guests to a real audience, is a step change in cost rather than an increment.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Pitch: Is Pitch free to use?
Yes, Pitch's Free plan lets you create unlimited presentations forever. Paid plans (Plus, Team, Business) pricing varies by seat count and billing cycle.
SourceRows: Can it replace Excel or Google Sheets?
Not for general spreadsheet work. It is for reports and sheets that pull live data, and most teams end up running it alongside a conventional spreadsheet rather than instead of one.
Pitch: Can I hire Pitch to build my presentation for me?
Pitch doesn't offer custom design services. Instead, users can leverage Pitch Agent for rapid presentation generation or select from 150+ templates. The company can recommend creative agencies familiar with the platform.
SourceRows: What can I actually do on the free plan?
Real building: unlimited members, ten integration accounts, five AI tasks a month, 1 MB imports, three guests and seven days of version history. What you cannot do is schedule a refresh.
Pitch: Does Pitch offer a free trial?
Free trials are available to some customers depending on their needs. Contact support for eligibility information.
SourceRows: Does the data stay live after I export?
No. Exports contain values only, so the connections and the scheduling do not travel and the file stops updating the moment it leaves.
Pitch: Can I import my existing deck, and in what format?
Yes, you can upload a PPTX file. Users coming from Google Slides, Keynote, or other tools should export to PPTX format first.
SourceRows: Is pricing per user?
Yes on the paid tiers, with a fixed platform fee added at Pro. Guests are counted and capped separately from members.
