ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Templates for Numbers holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Utility Spreadsheet has 728 ratings behind it against 37, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Utility Spreadsheet's written reviews are positive against 38% of Templates for Numbers's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Utility Spreadsheet ships an update every 5 weeks, Templates for Numbers every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
