SheetWeave vs RowDocs: Honest Comparison (2026)
RowDocs is an add-on by Tofu Labs (tofulabs.app/rowdocs); it is a different product from a different company. Our add-on was renamed SheetWeave to avoid confusion. SheetWeave is live on the Google Workspace Marketplace; RowDocs is not in Google's add-on store yet. (It is also unrelated to the browser-based tool at rowdocs.app.)
| SheetWeave | RowDocs | |
|---|---|---|
| Availability | Live on the Google Workspace Marketplace (listed November 10, 2026) | Not in Google's add-on store yet; Pro not on sale; waitlist |
| Templates | Google Docs with {{placeholder}} tags | Google Docs or Slides with Autocrat-style <<tags>> |
| Outputs | Google Docs, PDF or both, into a chosen Drive folder; links written back to the sheet | Doc, Slides or PDF in your Drive; status and links written to the sheet |
| Email / Forms triggers | Not today | Yes: email each document from your account, merge each new Form response, row conditions, email alert on failure |
| Google access requested | spreadsheets.currentonly, drive.file, script.container.ui, script.external_request (license check). Can't browse your whole Drive or read Gmail | Says it opens only the template you pick and the files it makes, while noting Google's permission screen words this more broadly; never reads your inbox. Exact scope list not checked here |
| Price | 14-day free trial (no card), then $8/month or $59/year | Free: 20 documents a month. Pro $79/year for unlimited, 7-day free trial, refund within 14 days |

Free option first
A short Apps Script can make one Doc and PDF per row at no cost. See how to generate a PDF or Doc for each row.
{{placeholder}} template from each row and saves Docs, PDFs or both into a Drive folder you choose, writing the output links back to the sheet. It uses narrow, non-restricted scopes only (spreadsheets.currentonly, drive.file, script.container.ui, and script.external_request for the license check), so it cannot browse your whole Drive or read Gmail, and your sheet and document content never leaves your Google account. 14-day free trial with no credit card, then $8/month or $59/year. It is live on the Google Workspace Marketplace.See SheetWeave
