# XLSX Sheets vs Doc Scanner .

The clearest difference is ads: XLSX Sheets at none against Doc Scanner .'s shown. XLSX Sheets also leads on ratings volume (2.9K vs 13) and chart position (#167 vs unranked). Doc Scanner .'s advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. XLSX Sheets sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Doc Scanner . sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Doc Scanner . holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: XLSX Sheets has 2.9K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 24% of XLSX Sheets's written reviews are positive against 18% of Doc Scanner .'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
