# AppSheet vs Looker

The clearest difference is review sentiment: AppSheet at 40% against Looker's 0%. AppSheet also leads on ratings volume (200 vs 11) and device support (3 vs 1). Looker's advantage is rating (3.9 vs 3.4) and monetization model (free vs freemium). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Looker holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AppSheet has 200 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of AppSheet's written reviews are positive against 0% of Looker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

AppSheet ships an update every 2 months, Looker monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
