EditGrid launches team access with subscription plan

The HongKong based web-based spreadsheet service provider EditGrid has finally come out of its year long beta and launched a subscription service for companies and organizations. Pricing is similar to the Salesforce integration that EditGrid had launched last month- $5/user/month. Good part of this new change is that the service still stays free for personal users.

EditGrid today also released genuine numbers of the user-base growth. They currently have 19500+ total registered users out of which 15K are personal and 4.5K users come from 200 companies using EditGrid at their workplace. I think the latter number clearly tells that companies are looking to go beyond the standard Microsoft offerings to cut down costs and make data accessible to their users anywhere anytime. And not to forget the ability for multiple people to edit and collaborate on the same sheet at the same time.

Even in the Office20 space, Google might win majority of the market share by bundling GOffice with Gmail accounts and Apps for domains, but there is plenty of room for determined startups to launch and exist. Especially if you look at EditGrid’s localization strategy which enabled it to reach out to people in 30+ countries. If they forge right kind of partnerships even in couple of emerging countries like India or China or Brazil, EditGrid can be a huge success. For instance, EditGrid talking with for a rollout on Rajesh Jain’s Novatium netPC would be a great idea.
