# The Spreadsheet App vs Spreadsheets Editor

The clearest difference is rating: Spreadsheets Editor at 5.0 against The Spreadsheet App's 4.5. Spreadsheets Editor also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.6). The Spreadsheet App's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 4 weeks) and ratings volume (371 vs 9). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Spreadsheet App sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month 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: The Spreadsheet App has 371 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of The Spreadsheet App'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.

The Spreadsheet App ships an update every 5 days, Spreadsheets Editor every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
