Chose Apple Numbers
I would say excel is top tier, but you are going to pay a premium price for it. A small step down is a price savings and two tools that are really similar: google sheets and Apple Numbers. If I had to pick one I would pick sheets as it is easier to collaborate with. For …
Chose Apple Numbers
I think Apple Numbers is inferior to both Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets. Google sheets is more readily available for everyone and does not have the requirement that someone be on a MacOS system. Microsoft Excel, being the industry standard for spreadsheet management, has …
Chose Apple Numbers
If you're an Apple user, Apple Numbers is for you. If you primarily operate on PC and Android, you will find more compatibility with Excel. Both platforms perform similar functions -- you can create charts, graphs, and figures. Excel was the pioneer spreadsheet software but …

Apache OpenOffice Calc helps me to create and edit my lists with ease, and I can also customize each cell and column. This is great especially when I have to deal with product lists. I can verify or fix the price, the identification code and other data concerning each item with a few clicks. So far, I never experienced any scenario where this software was not appropriate.

Apple Numbers is great for organizations who don’t live out of spread sheets. It is a cheaper option than the main competitor Microsoft Excel. So if you don’t want to shell out the extra money and take a little step back on features, Numbers is a great place to be for those companies.

Overall most things on Numbers are intuitive and easy to use. However there are some things that can seem like they are in the wrong place if you are use to or coming from excel. After a bit of a learning curve everything makes sense. If I had no excel experience I would rate Numbers higher.

Apple Numbers is more aesthetically appealing than Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets. I would say, however, that Microsoft Excel seems to have more tools and bells and whistles than Apple Numbers does. In that same vein, however, Apple Numbers has more bells and whistles than Google Sheets. One of the ways I think Apple Numbers eclipses the other two is the fact that I can access the program on my iPhone.
