PasteSheet: Pricing, Features & Best Use Cases

Our take: PasteSheet fits indie developers and no-code builders who want a Google Sheet to serve as a cached JSON API or an MCP source for AI agents, starting with a free plan and a 14-day Pro trial.

Main limitation: The Free plan is capped at 3 endpoints, 2,000 requests a month and 500 rows per response, and requests above the monthly cap return a 429 error.
