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 …

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 …

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 …

We did not use any other software similar to WPS Office. But the kind of experience I get from this app is unmatchable.

It is on par with that but the Microsoft brand is impeccable. Apart from that I love both products. WPS Office is also a little generous to provide a free version to its users. That's what as a student attracted me to WPS Office 2 years back for the first time.

I selected WPS Office over google mainly because of its easy to use format and to give access to my clients for the data. Also you can use WPS Office for free as upgrading is not mandatory. Google has a fee.

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.

This is the best software for handling office documents during travel. We manage all our office documents from our mobile phones when we travel. We sort out data on spreadsheets, we make client presentations, we create/edit word documents on our mobile phone itself with the help of this software.

  • Unavailability of auto spell-check integration in this app. They should integrate a good program for spelling correction/suggestion.
  • It does not have all the required tools to edit PDF documents.
  • No clarity provided by the developer on the security of my documents on its servers.

Usability
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.

I have never had much difficulty and use different software, but WPS Office has a very friendly and simplified interface. Those who are already familiar with programs of this type certainly have no difficulty in learning to use it. Best of all, the main tools of the programs provided by the WPS Office are easily accessible.

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.
