You can send specific invites, or just create a link to share. The sharing settings available on Google Sheets are incredible – you have control over who can see your document, who can edit it, and who can comment on it. Microsoft is working harder to create a more collaborative experience for their suite of Office apps, but it doesn’t quite beat the seamless sharing that came with Google Docs, Sheets, and so on from day one. However, if you just need to create simple spreadsheets with a small selection of commands, Google Sheets is just as good. If you need a headache-free experience to access and manage thousands of cells of data, Excel is the winner. Google Sheets is well optimized up to a point – as your sheet fills with more columns, rows, and tabs of data, I’ve found it to start slowing down in comparison to Excel. You can also take a look at CNET's list of the best Windows laptops.However, if you need more advanced functions or you’ll be working with massive amounts of data, I’ve found that Excel is more suitable. If you're looking for basic versions of each of these apps, the free version should work well for you.įor more productivity coverage, check out what Microsoft 365 Basic offers customers, all of the best features in Windows 11 and how to take screenshots in Windows 10 or 11. There are still benefits to the free version, including the ability to share links to your work and collaborate in real time, similar to what the Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) productivity tools allow. They also have fewer features than the full Microsoft 365 versions. You might be saying, "Wait a minute, if I can get all of those apps for free, why pay for Microsoft 365 in the first place?" The functionality of the free apps is limited, so they only run in your web browser and you can only use them while you're actively connected to the internet.
