# Numbers vs SunTable

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Numbers at none against SunTable's 4. Numbers also leads on ratings volume (215K vs 89) and review sentiment (50% vs 33%). SunTable's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SunTable sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. Numbers asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Numbers against 4.7 for SunTable. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Numbers has 215K ratings behind it against 89, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 50% of Numbers's written reviews are positive against 33% of SunTable's.

Numbers ships an update every 3 months, SunTable monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and August 8, 2026 respectively.
