UtilExchange edges out XL-Connector (formerly Enabler4Excel) on rating (5.0★ vs 4.8★), but the gap is small enough that pricing fit and feature differentiation should drive the decision more than the headline number.
Pricing entry tiers: XL-Connector (formerly Enabler4Excel) at freemium, UtilExchange at free. Check each app's tier structure for the capacity limits you actually need before deciding — the headline number is the same shape, but the gating shape per tier (seats, usage volume, integrations) varies.
XL-Connector (formerly Enabler4Excel) has the larger user base (228 reviews vs 1), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. UtilExchange's smaller cohort can be an advantage for niche workflows where the bigger app has accumulated bloat.
Recommended by size: small/early-stage admins who need fast install and low risk should default to UtilExchange; mid-market and enterprise admins with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — XL-Connector (formerly Enabler4Excel)'s 228-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than UtilExchange's broader-but-shallower coverage.
