# Spreadsheet vs Spreadsheets Editor

The clearest difference is rating: Spreadsheets Editor at 5.0 against Spreadsheet's 4.5. Spreadsheets Editor also leads on ads (none vs shown). Spreadsheet's advantage is review sentiment (72% vs 40%) and ratings volume (6K vs 9). On price, update cadence, 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 Spreadsheets Editor sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Spreadsheets Editor holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spreadsheet has 6K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Spreadsheet's written reviews are positive against 40% of Spreadsheets Editor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Spreadsheet ships an update monthly, Spreadsheets Editor every 4 weeks. Both last shipped on September 23, 2026.
