      Google Sheets Alternatives: 10 Similar iPhone Apps in 2026

      By App Store Tracker Editorial · Updated May 25, 2026 — live App Store data verified 1 min ago

      The short version

      Google Sheets brings cloud spreadsheets and real-time collaboration to your phone, though reviewers say the mobile app drops features like conditional formatting and tables. The closest match is Microsoft Excel, the most-reviewed spreadsheet app with deep formulas. Zoho Sheet adds free real-time collaboration, while iSpreadsheet and XLSX Sheets handle Excel-compatible files. Google Docs covers documents in the same suite. Pick by whether you want collaboration, Excel power, or offline editing.

      People look for Google Sheets alternatives when the mobile app lacks desktop features, they prefer Excel power, or they want a different collaboration model. Sheets shines for cloud sharing but reviewers miss conditional formatting, tables, and advanced sorting on iPhone and iPad. The picks here share that spreadsheet purpose: create and edit sheets, run formulas, build charts, and import or export Excel and CSV files, many with collaboration or cloud sync. We ranked them by embedding similarity to Google Sheets, then weighed live App Store ratings and review volume so the most popular, best-rated options lead, flagging the app-builders that are not spreadsheet editors.

        Why it's similar

        The Spreadsheet App covers the basics Google Sheets users need: data entry, calculations, charts, Excel and CSV export, and even custom user-defined functions, in a touch-friendly interface for quick mobile work.

        How it differs

        With just 340 ratings, it is small and unproven against Google Sheets. It lacks the seed's real-time cloud collaboration and Google Drive integration, so it suits solo spreadsheets more than shared workbooks.

        Why it's similar

        Zoho Sheet is a strong free alternative with real-time collaboration, Excel and CSV import, cloud sync with Dropbox and Box, and even data extraction from photos, closely matching Google Sheets's collaborative, cloud-based model. Its 4.64 rating across 884 reviews is solid.

        How it differs

        Zoho Sheet ties into the Zoho ecosystem rather than Google Drive and Workspace, so sharing flows differ. Its user base is far smaller than Sheets, so collaborators are less likely to already be on the platform.

        Why it's similar

        AppSheet uses Google Sheets and other sources to build no-code apps with forms, photos, and workflows, extending the seed's data into custom mobile apps, and it is from Google.

        How it differs

        AppSheet is an app-builder, not a spreadsheet editor, so it does not let you create or edit sheets like Google Sheets. Its 3.39 rating across 196 reviews reflects a niche tool that consumes spreadsheet data rather than replacing the seed.

        Why it's similar

        XLSX Sheets focuses on Excel-compatible editing with cut, copy, paste, cell formatting, and formulas, sharing Google Sheets's spreadsheet creation and management for users who work with .xlsx files. Its 4.56 rating across 2,388 reviews is decent.

        How it differs

        It centers on Excel-file compatibility rather than Google Sheets's cloud collaboration and Drive sync, so shared real-time editing is not its focus. Its user base and feature depth trail the seed's.

        Spreadsheets 7 offers Excel compatibility, powerful formulas and functions, and chart creation on iPhone, sharing Google Sheets's core spreadsheet work with a focus on preserving Excel formatting. Its 4.53 rating across 1,060 reviews is solid.

        How it differs

        It is built around Excel-file compatibility rather than Google Sheets's live collaboration and Drive integration. Its smaller user base and lack of real-time sharing make it more of a solo Excel editor than a Sheets replacement.

        Why it's similar

        Microsoft Excel is the closest powerhouse alternative, the most-reviewed spreadsheet app here with a 4.75 rating across 1,398,000+ reviews, offering deep formulas, formatting, charts, templates, and Copilot AI, matching and exceeding Google Sheets's editing power.

        How it differs

        Excel's full features and Copilot need a Microsoft 365 subscription, and its real-time collaboration runs through OneDrive rather than Google Drive. Reviewers who live in Google Workspace lose the seamless sharing the seed offers.

        Why it's similar

        iSpreadsheet is a fast, free mobile spreadsheet built for iPhone and iPad, compatible with Excel and Numbers, supporting formulas and formatting and syncing with Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, and iCloud. Its 10,000+ reviews show wide adoption.

        How it differs

        iSpreadsheet uses CSV-centric storage and lacks Google Sheets's native real-time co-editing and Workspace integration. Its 4.49 rating and feature depth trail the seed for collaborative and advanced spreadsheet work.

        Why it's similar

        Google Docs is the seed's sister app in the same Google suite, sharing accounts, Drive storage, and real-time collaboration, with a huge 4.79 rating across 3,000,000+ reviews. It is the natural companion for document work alongside Sheets.

        How it differs

        Google Docs handles word processing, not spreadsheets, so it cannot run formulas, build tables of data, or chart numbers like Google Sheets. It complements rather than replaces the seed for spreadsheet tasks.

        Why it's similar

        WerkSheets is a collaborative, real-time data-tracking and workflow tool organized in a cell grid, sharing Google Sheets's two-dimensional data layout and shared-accountability collaboration.

        How it differs

        WerkSheets is a workflow-management tool rather than a general spreadsheet editor, with just 4 ratings, so it is brand-new and niche. It lacks Google Sheets's formulas, charts, and Excel compatibility, serving project tracking instead.

        Why it's similar

        Sheets to App converts spreadsheets into a customized mobile app, displaying and editing rows from your sheet, extending Google Sheets data into a simple app for business use.

        How it differs

        It is an app-builder, not a spreadsheet editor, so it cannot create or edit full sheets with formulas and charts like Google Sheets. With no ratings yet, it is unproven and serves a different purpose than the seed.

      How we ranked these 10 alternatives

      Embedding similarity

      Every app in our database carries a dense vector embedding derived from its title, subtitle, full description, and category metadata. To find apps similar to Google Sheets, we compute cosine distance against every other app and surface the closest 60 candidates. The similarity score shown on each pick is 1 - distance/2 clamped to [0,1] — 100% means the embedding spaces are identical, 0% means orthogonal.

      Re-ranking signals

      We then re-rank the candidate set using current App Store rating and review-count signals so a 4.8-star app with 100,000 reviews ranks above a 4.5-star app with 200 reviews even when their embedding distance is similar. Apps that haven't shipped an update in 12 months are filtered out before re-ranking.

      Refresh cadence

      The similarity cache is recomputed weekly. Live App Store data (rating, review count) is verified every 6 hours.
