EditGrid is developed, provided and maintained by Team and Concepts, a Hong Kong-based company. The first public beta release of EditGrid was launched on 7 April 2006. It registered its 10,000th personal users in November 2006[4]. In January 2007 EditGrid started to offer organisation accounts for free trial and also became available on Salesforce.com's AppExchange platform[5].

On 14 February 2007[6], EditGrid officially declared out-of-beta and launched its subscription service.

EditGrid is available to organisation users on an SaaS basis. Organisation users enjoy SSL-encrypted traffic, user account administration and management reports on top of the features available to personal users[7].

EditGrid includes features for shared access and online collaboration[8] on top of conventional spreadsheet functionalities. Its Real-Time Update (RTU) feature allows multiple users to see changes on a spreadsheet immediately, while its Remote Data feature can retrieve live data on the web[9]. Its My Data Format (MDF) feature allows users to customise the output format using XSLT, such as live KML for Google Earth[10]. Other features include multiple access control levels, revision history[11], charting, live chat, permalinks and more than 500 spreadsheet functions.

Apart from access from its main site, spreadsheets hosted on EditGrid can be accessed on third-party websites by means of its post-to-blog feature.

EditGrid is available as a module on Netvibes, Pageflakes and Google Personalized Hompage[12]. EditGrid is also available on Salesforce.com's AppExchange platform[13][14].

EditGrid also forms part of the Central Desktop offering[15].

In addition, developers can make use of the EditGrid API to build custom applications. There are a number of EditGrid add-ons that mash up other services. One of these, Grid2Map, turns longitude-latitude pairs into placemarks on Google Maps[16].

In addition to the default English version, EditGrid is available in eight languages: German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Dutch, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese, largely thanks to a community localisation project[17].

EditGrid is developed on an open-source software architecture[18]. It runs on Catalyst as the web application framework and uses Gnumeric as its back-end support. It adopts Ajax technology at the front-end.
