About Plain Text Table

Plain Text Table is a web-based tool for building tables that you export as plain text. It is aimed at places where HTML tables are not an option, such as Stack Overflow posts, source code comments and plain text emails. You click cells in a grid to enter data, then choose border styles, header options and ASCII or Unicode characters. The script runs entirely in the browser, and the data you enter is not saved to any server.

Pricing is not clearly stated.
