Both are free to download. Utility Spreadsheet sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Templates for Numbers sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
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.
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.
