# XLSX Sheets vs Spreadsheets Editor

The clearest difference is rating: Spreadsheets Editor at 5.0 against XLSX Sheets's 4.5. Spreadsheets Editor also leads on review sentiment (40% vs 24%). XLSX Sheets's advantage is ratings volume (2.9K vs 9) and chart position (#165 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads 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 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.
