# XLSX Sheets vs Spreadsheet

The clearest difference is rating: Spreadsheet at 5.0 against XLSX Sheets's 4.5. Spreadsheet also leads on update cadence (weekly vs monthly). XLSX Sheets's advantage is ratings volume (2.9K vs 2) and chart position (#169 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. XLSX Sheets sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Spreadsheet sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Spreadsheet holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: XLSX Sheets has 2.9K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

XLSX Sheets ships an update monthly, Spreadsheet weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
