FAQs

Is Quadratic free?

Quadratic offers a free plan for individuals to try the full-featured app, with limits on AI usage. See updated pricing information here.Quadratic offers a free plan for individuals to try the full-featured app, with limits on AI usage. See pricing information here.

Do I need to know Python or SQL to use Quadratic?

Not at all. You can stay entirely in familiar spreadsheet formulas, or let Quadratic’s AI write and debug code for you. If you do know Python, SQL, or JavaScript, you can type code directly into cells for more complex logic. The platform is designed so beginners feel at home while power users never hit a ceiling.

How secure is my data?

Quadratic is SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA compliant, encrypts data in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256), and offers role-based access control. Enterprises can choose a self-hosted deployment so data never leaves their own infrastructure. For additional peace of mind, all code runs in isolated containers with resource limits.

Can multiple people edit at once?

Yes. Quadratic supports true multiplayer editing—you can see teammates’ cursors, cell selections, and code in real time, similar to Google Sheets. Permission levels (viewer, editor) keep collaboration secure, and version history lets you revert to any previous state.

What browsers do you support?

While Firefox and Safari have minimal support, Quadratic works best within the Chrome browser. Because all computation happens in the cloud, there’s nothing to install or update. Mobile editing is read-only today, with additional mobile support scheduled for a future release.
