Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Google Sheets at free against Miro's freemium. Google Sheets also leads on ratings volume (1.9M vs 5.8K) and review sentiment (56% vs 39%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Google Sheets against 4.7 for Miro. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Google Sheets has 1.9M ratings behind it against 5.8K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 56% of Google Sheets's written reviews are positive against 39% of Miro's.
Google Sheets ships an update weekly, Miro fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
