# ClevCalc vs XLSX Sheets

ClevCalc and XLSX Sheets both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 91% of ClevCalc's written reviews are positive against 23% of XLSX Sheets's. ClevCalc also leads on ratings volume (14K vs 3.2K). XLSX Sheets's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#173 vs unranked).

Both are free to download. ClevCalc sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and XLSX Sheets sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
