How to Use the Free Plan
Flookup provides a comprehensive free tier so you can experience the power of our data wrangler before upgrading. Most functions are available for testing immediately after installation.
Menu Functions
These are found by navigating to Extensions > Flookup Data Wrangler in your spreadsheet menu. They provide a simple interface for complex tasks right inside the Google Sheets sidebar.
On the free plan, only custom functions, function scheduling and intelligent data cleaning with AI are unavailable. Every other tool, including "Match and Merge", "Standardize Data" and "Deduplication", is open for you to test.
While we encourage you to explore the full suite, please be aware that the free trial includes certain volume-based limitations and usage caps to help us maintain performance for all users.

How to Troubleshoot Your Plan
- Whenever you switch to a different spreadsheet or create a new one, you must navigate to Extensions > Flookup Data Wrangler > Account Management > Dashboard and click the Fetch status button. This enables Flookup functions for that specific document.
