Cost Comparison

• Single "Use AI" column with multiple outputs is generally cheaper than separate columns for each output

Recommended Approach

Before choosing either option, first check if you can use AI Formulas instead:

• Cost: Completely free with no credit consumption
• Best for: Structured, deterministic tasks such as:
  • Formatting data
  • Cleaning data
  • Extracting patterns

When to Use "Use AI"

Reserve the "Use AI" feature for tasks requiring:

• Generative capabilities
• Reasoning or creativity
• Tasks beyond AI Formulas' capabilities
