ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Simple Spreadsheet holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Simple Spreadsheet has 7K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of Simple Spreadsheet's written reviews are positive against 76% of Pon's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Simple Spreadsheet ships an update every 3 weeks, Pon every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
