Appizy

What it is

Appizy is a spreadsheet-to-web converter. You build the logic in Excel or LibreOffice, and Appizy turns that spreadsheet into an interactive web calculator or web application that you can share or embed on a website. Its own description is blunt: "Appizy is the fastest way to turn spreadsheet tools into interactive, reusable, easy to share web applications", and its headline is "Share your spreadsheets, not your formulas."

The people it names are personal finance coaches, teachers and real estate agents, plus anyone with a spreadsheet tool that colleagues, providers or clients should be able to use. The site is offered in English, French and Spanish.

What you build and how

The editor is your spreadsheet. There is no canvas of draggable widgets to learn. The site says the tool needs "No pre-requisite beside your document", and the pitch is that you "Build with Excel then share using Appizy converter." If you already have a pricing model, a loan schedule, a nutrition tracker or a scoring sheet, the work is in the spreadsheet you have already built, not in a new builder.

The live example on the home page is a meal calculator. It is headed "YOUR BREAKFAST" and offers rows with a food item picker (slice of bread, banana, egg, avocado, tomato), a quantity and a calories column, with a total at the bottom. That is a clear picture of what the converter produces: the dropdowns, number fields and totals of a spreadsheet, rendered as a web page.

Three properties are named on the home page. First, "Simple to use": convert the spreadsheet into a web calculator that can be shared and reused on your website. Second, "Easy setup": embed the generated calculator on the website of your choice, and the site says it is "dynamic, cross-OS, cross-browsers and mobile compatible". Third, "Secured": calculation runs on the service side, which "keeps your knowledge away from end users eyes." In practice that means the visitor sees the inputs and the answer, but not the formulas behind them. For consultants and coaches who sell their method, that is the main reason to use a converter rather than send an Excel file.

Other uses follow from that. The home page talks about freeing tools "from your desktop computer" so they can be used by colleagues, providers or clients, and about replacing spreadsheets attached to emails with web tools you can reach "from your computer, mobile or tablet." Those lines are what place Appizy in the app builder category: it is a way to publish a small internal or client-facing application from something you already maintain in a spreadsheet. The page also says the aim is to "Build an audience", that is, to add value-added calculators to a website and bring visitors back.

For forms, the relevant piece is the integration list. The footer names Basin, Wix, GoodBarber, Getform, SmartForms and WordPress, and the home page says you can connect your app with tools you love to build a website, collect data, or create native mobile apps. Basin, Getform and SmartForms are form services, so the picture is a calculator that sits on your page and passes what a visitor entered to a form back end of your choice. The same footer sums up the offer as "Easy integration, secure data handling, works on any website."

Templates are the shortcut when you do not have a spreadsheet. A news item on the home page says 20 new calculator templates covering finance, health, real estate and more bring the library to "over 30", "so there's a better chance the next calculator you need is already close to something you can start from."

The site also links to a Comparisons section. A news item announces "Honest Comparisons Between Appizy and Other Excel-to-App Tools", described as comparison pages that admit where other tools are genuinely strong. That tells you the company expects buyers to be weighing it against other Excel-to-app products, and it is worth reading before you choose.

What the pages say about plans, claims and support

The home page gives no prices and no plan names; those sit on a separate Pricing page in the main navigation. What it does say is that you can "Start with your own spreadsheet for free or book a demo with our team", with "Free to start" and "No credit card required" under the call to action. So the entry point is to start from a real spreadsheet of your own and see the converted result before paying anything, or to walk through it with the team on a demo call.

On security, the claim is the server-side calculation point above: the formulas run on Appizy's side, and the page's line is "Share your expertise not your formulas!"

Support gets the most attention in the testimonials. Miró, founder of Zorg Calculator, writes that the team "always manage to solve (my) problem super fast and even take time to help me make better formulas in Excel." A second quote, from a sales director at Outsource UK that the page tags as a Trustpilot review, says "I have made a few quite complicated apps for my website using Appizy's spreadsheet converter and they work very well, and surprising quickly considering the size of the spreadsheets." These are testimonials chosen by the company for its own home page, so treat them as the company's presentation rather than independent ratings.

The site also publishes a knowledge base, a resources area, a product updates page and a blog, and offers Sign in and Try for free actions at the top. The home page's footer describes the product as converting "Excel & LibreOffice spreadsheets into interactive web apps without coding."

Who it suits and who it does not

Appizy suits a person who already thinks in spreadsheets. A real estate agent with a property analysis sheet, a coach with a budgeting model, a teacher with a self-check workbook or an agency that keeps its estimator in Excel can publish the result without a developer and without exposing the formulas. A small team that wants a calculator on its WordPress or Wix site, and wants the logic kept in a file it can edit itself, is the sweet spot. Because the work happens in Excel or LibreOffice, a person who can already write the formulas can maintain the calculator.

It is a poorer match for someone starting from nothing. If you have no spreadsheet and want to drag fields onto a canvas, a builder with its own visual editor, or Appizy's templates, may be easier. The home page demo shows the output as a spreadsheet-style calculator, so a heavily art-directed layout is not what the site demonstrates. It reads as a publishing tool for calculators and small spreadsheet apps rather than a team application platform with roles and shared editing.

The practical way in matches the product: take one of your real spreadsheets, convert it for free, and judge the result on your own site before you commit.
