# Spreadsheet vs Forms

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Spreadsheet at 72% against Forms's 0%. Spreadsheet also leads on rating (4.5 vs 3.8) and ratings volume (6K vs 8). Forms's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Spreadsheet sells 22 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Forms sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Spreadsheet holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spreadsheet has 6K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 72% of Spreadsheet's written reviews are positive against 0% of Forms's.

Spreadsheet ships an update monthly, Forms every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and June 5, 2026 respectively.
