# Quick Family Tree vs Simple Spreadsheet

The clearest difference is rating: Simple Spreadsheet at 4.6 against Quick Family Tree's 3.9. Simple Spreadsheet also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (7K vs 817). Quick Family Tree's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and review sentiment (75% vs 44%). On price, update cadence, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Simple Spreadsheet sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per year. Quick Family Tree asks for nothing beyond the download.

Simple Spreadsheet holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Simple Spreadsheet has 7K ratings behind it against 817, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Quick Family Tree's written reviews are positive against 44% of Simple Spreadsheet's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Quick Family Tree ships an update monthly, Simple Spreadsheet every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
