Detailed analysis: Lasso vs Microsoft Copilot in Excel
Product snapshot

Where this product excels

- Operational reporting and data checks
Where ecommerce teams hit limits
- Spreadsheet-first process still needs external listing workflow
- No ecommerce-native publish pipeline
- Complex category logic remains hard to govern

- Choose Lasso if your goal is operational catalog quality.
- Use Copilot for analysis and Lasso for production execution.
Deep operational comparison
MS Copilot in Excel is excellent when your primary challenge is spreadsheet productivity: summarizing ranges, generating formulas, and assisting analysts in familiar tooling.
For ecommerce listing teams, the challenge is broader than spreadsheet speed. Teams need category logic, controlled enrichment, reviewer accountability, and reliable publishing outputs for stores, marketplaces, and internal systems.
Lasso addresses those needs as a dedicated product-data platform. It can still coexist with Excel for analysis, but it removes the operational burden of treating spreadsheets as the system of record for large-scale ecommerce listing operations.
