There are now several materially different ways to run Python with Excel. Comparing them only by “supports Python” hides the choices that actually determine whether a workflow will work: where Python executes, how it reaches workbook data, what packages it can load, whether it can create worksheet functions, and what another user receives when the workbook is shared.

This review compares Microsoft Python in Excel, Boardflare Python for Excel, xlwings Lite, and Anaconda Code as of August 10, 2026. Because these products are changing quickly, treat this as a dated market snapshot and verify the linked official documentation before making a deployment decision.
