Excel vs Google Sheets

If you’ve been using one and not the other, there’s a reason why you got stuck with one. Let’s look at the different aspects of Microsoft Excel vs Google Sheets of these so that you can decide which one is still superior.

Key Differences Between Excel and Google Sheets

• If we talk about price, the Google sheet is free. You can use it whenever you want and wherever you want. If you want to jump in for a business subscription, you need to pay $5 per month. And if you pay for the year, Google will give you discounts as well. On the other hand, Microsoft Office isn’t free. And you need to pay to use Microsoft Excel. Microsoft’s new Office 365 costs you (only the online version) $8.25 per month for a single user. So, in the case of pricing, Google sheets are a much better alternative than Microsoft Excel.
• Another advantage of Google sheets is the ease of collaboration. Suppose you’re working on a Google sheet. And you feel that you need the help of your team in creating something worthwhile. So, you can ask your team to join in and share their inputs. It means on a Google sheet; multiple people can work simultaneously. As a result, collaboration becomes easier. Microsoft Excel, on the other hand, allows you to track changes in excel, but Google sheets let you edit the sheet simultaneously.
• If you use Microsoft Excel, you would need to manually save the file. But in the case of Google sheet, you can concentrate on creating the sheet, doing the work that matters, and your sheet will be automatically saved up on your Google drive.
• If you want to choose one for data analysis and visualization, Microsoft Excel is still the better version. Since Excel has more formula stored, you can’t beat Microsoft excel in using it for creating financial models with ease. For example, if you want to create a flowchart or Gantt chart in excel, you can access the inbuilt formula in excel; but to create these charts on Google sheet, you need to do them manually.
• If you want to use excel or sheet for macros, you should know that Google sheet has added macros. And as a result, Google sheet has become a strong contender for Microsoft Excel.
• Individuals that use “mac” prefer Google sheets over Microsoft Excel. It’s because Microsoft excel may work on all the applications, but Microsoft’s focus is mainly on windows and not mac-users.
