Work easily with CSV files! Enter CSV directly as a text, or load a file from the Files app. Supported actions: - Get a value by row and column index/name - Get headers - Get header by index - Get sheet size (number of rows and columns) The action result can be copied to the clipboard. CSV Tools is compatible with the Shortcut app, thus you can integrate it into any automated workflow. Shortcuts integration is a premium feature requiring an in-app purchase. I think your privacy is very important, thus all the CSV file processing is done locally on your phone. Your CSVs never leave your phone.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: GizmoPack at every 4 days against CSV Tools's every 19 months. GizmoPack also leads on ratings volume (31 vs 1). CSV Tools's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (100% vs 75%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
