Claude (Sheets, Whiteboards, Data) is a suite of AI-powered productivity tools from Anthropic designed to help businesses streamline knowledge work by enabling interactive collaboration, data-driven insights, and real-time ideation. These tools bring together shared whiteboards for planning, a native spreadsheet editor with formulas and multi-tab support, and a data connection platform for dashboards and narrative insights. Their goal is to reduce the friction of moving between apps and elevate how teams brainstorm, budget, and visualize data.

Key Features

Whiteboards: A collaborative, shared canvas where teams and Claude map out ideas together. Users can talk, type, or sketch ideas and Claude will organize them into diagrams, flows, timelines, and groupings. Boards can be exported to PNG or sent to partner tools like Miro or Lucid. Whiteboards are in beta and are available on web, desktop, and mobile. They are off by default on Enterprise plans until enabled by administrators.

Sheets: An AI-native spreadsheet tool built directly into Claude. Users can create sheets with multiple tabs, formulas, drop-downs, conditional formatting, charts, and collaborate with both teammates and Claude in the same cells. It includes about 144 functions and supports importing from CSV, Excel, and Google Sheets, as well as exporting back. Limitations include lack of pivot tables, macros, protected ranges, filter views, live data connections, and mobile functionality is read-only. Sheets is in beta.

Data (formerly Claude Dashboards): A platform to connect your company data sources such as Snowflake, BigQuery, ClickHouse, and Salesforce to generate dashboards, data stories, and narrated short videos. Includes certified queries to ensure metric consistency across dashboards, support for live sharing, tracked history of changes, caching for faster load times, and the ability to design dashboards to match your branding.

Other features across all three: available on all paid plans; counts toward usage limits; works alongside interactive connectors to external tools; artifacts are editable, shareable, and exportable.

Pricing

  • Free plan: $0 per user per month. Includes chat, file creation, memory, design/slides/docs, and basic artifact creation. Sheets, Whiteboards, and Data require paid plans.

  • Pro plan: $17 per month with annual billing ($200/year), or $20 per month if billed monthly. Adds more usage, additional models, Claude Code, Science, Cowork, Projects, and more. Enables Sheets, Whiteboards, and Data on beta.

  • Ultra plan (formerly Max 20x): $200/month. Includes 10x Pro usage weekly, no 5-hour session limit for verified accounts, priority access to new models and features, and monthly API credits.

  • Team plan: Designed for organizations, with Standard seats at $25/month per seat with monthly billing or $20/month with annual billing; Premium seats cost $125/month with monthly billing or $100/month with annual billing. Minimum two seats required. Includes admin tools, identity management, shared workspace, and all features of paid individual plans.

  • Enterprise plan: Custom pricing. Includes everything in the Team plan plus enhanced governance, compliance, audit logs, custom data retention, HIPAA-ready options, network-level access controls, and fine-grained permissioning.

  • Special offer for scientists: Verified research groups may receive Standard seats free, normally $20/month, and Premium seats at a promotional rate of $15/month. Applies for up to 25 seats with annual billing.

Who is it for?

Business owners, knowledge workers, and decision-makers who juggle planning, budgeting, reporting, and team collaboration will find Claude Sheets, Whiteboards, and Data compelling. Teams lacking a unified workspace for ideation-to-execution workflows, including marketing, product, and operations, can benefit from designing project plans in Whiteboards, turning those into Sheets, and creating dashboards with Data without switching tools. Data analysts or financial teams may leverage Data for certified definitions and live dashboards. Small to medium-size businesses needing affordable collaboration tools might find Team or standard Pro plans appropriate. Larger enterprises operating under strict compliance or data privacy requirements may lean toward the Enterprise plan for HIPAA, custom retention, and audit capability. Research labs benefit from the scientists' offer. Roles such as project managers, product leads, data analysts, and creative directors are particularly suited.

Final thoughts

Claude's new Sheets, Whiteboards, and Data artifacts extend its capabilities far beyond text-based AI assistance toward a more integrated productivity ecosystem. For organizations seeking to reduce app switching, improve contextual continuity, and democratize access to insights from data without deep technical overhead, these tools represent a meaningful step forward. However, the beta status of Sheets and Whiteboards means some advanced spreadsheet and whiteboarding features remain absent. Enterprises with rigorous feature requirements or heavy compliance demands should evaluate whether the trade-offs are acceptable. For others, Claude offers a new alternative to piecing together multiple standalone tools.
