Why is there a subscription? $3/month is WAY too expensive for a basic script... This add-on does work, albeit very slowly. I was also getting only a "Help" option until I refreshed my opened Docs pages/tabs, and it works perfectly.

A fantastic addon. Previews reviews are misleading, as it appears all the issues mentioned in the past have been fixed.

Maybe it's been improved since these other reviews, but it worked great for me. I love that I can save a version of the doc with the placeholders completed straight from the add-on. I haven't used it directly from Sheets yet.
