Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Google Sheets at none against Forms for Google Drive's 17. Google Sheets also leads on ratings volume (1.8M vs 309) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). Forms for Google Drive's advantage is review sentiment (77% vs 54%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Forms for Google Drive sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Google Sheets asks for nothing beyond the download.
Google Sheets holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Google Sheets has 1.8M ratings behind it against 309, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of Google Sheets's written reviews are positive against 77% of Forms for Google Drive's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Google Sheets ships an update weekly, Forms for Google Drive monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
