    Cons
    Apple
    • Doesn’t have all the bells and whistles as excel.
    • Sometimes you have to save it in a different format for others to view
    • Could include more options on the menu bar rather than clicking on some of the drop downs.

    Usability
    Apple
    I think it has fine basic functionality. The cell management on a basic level is relatively intuitive, but the more complex tasks are the harder it is to understand how to execute in Apple Numbers. I think it aligns with Apple's core products in aesthetics, but that is where the perks in UI end.

    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 Apple presents a simpler, more modern, spreadsheet.

    EtherCalc has a low barrier to entry on training and end-user development. It is very easy for startups with considerable time pressure to deliver to use EtherCalc as a tool for tabulation, organization, collaboration and computation. It is also very useful for use cases in government institutions where there is a strong push for open source software-based ERP solutions or app development. These are the key reasons for the selection of Ethercalc.
