Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Microsoft Excel at 1.5M against SunTable's 89. Microsoft Excel also leads on update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and chart position (#20 vs unranked). SunTable's advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 24%) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
