Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Google Sheets at none against Spreadsheets Editor's 7. Google Sheets also leads on ratings volume (1.8M vs 9) and update cadence (weekly vs every 4 weeks). Spreadsheets Editor's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Spreadsheets Editor holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Google Sheets has 1.8M ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of Google Sheets's written reviews are positive against 40% of Spreadsheets Editor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Google Sheets ships an update weekly, Spreadsheets Editor every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
