Volunteers, not Amateurs
8 January 2013: Apache OpenOffice is developed 100% by volunteers. Apache does not pay for developers, for translators, for QA, for marketing, for UI, for support, etc. Of course, we're happy to accept donations to the Apache Software Foundation, to keep our servers runnings and for similar overhead expenses. But our products are developed entirely by volunteers.
Some users are initially worried by this statement:
How can software for free, developed by volunteers, be any good?
Read on for an answer...
The following is a list of spreadsheets.
Free and open-source software[edit]
Cloud and on-line spreadsheets[edit]
- Collabora Online Calc — Enterprise-ready LibreOffice.[1]
- Sheetster – 'Community Edition' is available under the Affero GPL
- Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware includes a spreadsheet since 2004 and migrated to jQuery.sheet in 2010.[2]
Spreadsheets that are parts of suites[edit]
- Collabora Online Calc — Enterprise-ready LibreOffice, web based application.
- Gnumeric — for Linux. Started as the GNOME desktop spreadsheet. Reasonably lightweight but has very advanced features.
- KSpread — following the fork of the Calligra Suite from KOffice in mid-2010, superseded by KCells in KOffice and Sheets in the Calligra Suite.[3]
- LibreOfficeCalc — developed for MS Windows, Linux, BSD and Apple Macintosh (Mac) operating systems by The Document Foundation. The Document Foundation was formed in mid-2010 by several large organisations such as Google, Red Hat, Canonical (Ubuntu) and Novell along with the OpenOffice.org community (developed by Sun) and various OpenOffice.org forks, notably Go-oo. Go-oo had been the 'OpenOffice' used in Ubuntu and elsewhere. Started as StarOffice in the late 1990s, it became OpenOffice under Sun and then LibreOffice in mid-2010. The Document Foundation works with external organisations such as NeoOffice and Apache Foundation to help drive all three products forward.[4]
- NeoOffice Calc — for Mac. Started as an OpenOffice.org port to Mac, but by using the Mac-specific Aquauser interface, instead of the more widely used X11 windowing server, it aimed to be far more stable than the normal ports of other suites.[5]
- OpenOffice.orgCalc — for MS Windows, Linux and the Apple Macintosh. Started as StarOffice. Sun changed the name to OpenOffice.org and developed a community of developers (and others) between the late 1990s and mid-2010. Oracle gave it to the Apache Foundation in 2011. IBM contributed their fork of OpenOffice.org, IBM Lotus Symphony, to Apache a few weeks later.[6]
- Siag — for Linux, OpenBSD and Apple Mac OS X. A simple old spreadsheet, part of Siag Office.[7]
- Sheets — for MS Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, Apple Mac OS X and Haiku. Part of the extensive Calligra Suite. Possibly still mainly for Linux, but ports have been developed for other operating systems.[8]
Standalone spreadsheets[edit]
Proprietary software[edit]
Online spreadsheets[edit]
- EditGrid – access, collaborate and share spreadsheets online, with API support; discontinued since 2014
- Google Sheets – as part of Google Docs
- Zoho Sheet Spreadsheet on the cloud that allows real-time collaboration and more, for free
- iRows – closed since 31 December 2006
- JotSpot Tracker – acquired by Google Inc.

- ThinkFree Online Calc – as part of the ThinkFree Office online office suite, using Java
- Airtable - a spreadsheet-database hybrid, with the features of a database but applied to a spreadsheet.

Spreadsheets that are parts of suites[edit]
- Ability Office Spreadsheet – for MS Windows.
- Apple iWorkNumbers, included with Apple's iWork '08 suite exclusively for Mac OS X v10.4 or higher.
- AppleWorks – for MS Windows and Macintosh. This is a further development of the historical Claris Works Office suite.
- WordPerfect OfficeQuattro Pro – for MS Windows. Was one of the big three spreadsheets (the others being Lotus 123 and Excel).
- EasyOffice EasySpreadsheet – for MS Windows. No longer freeware, this suite aims to be more user friendly than competitors.
- Framework – for MS Windows. Historical office suite still available and supported. It includes a spreadsheet.
- IBM Lotus Symphony – freeware for MS Windows, Apple Mac OS X and Linux.
- Kingsoft Office Spreadsheets 2012 – For MS Windows. Both free and paid versions are available. It can handle Microsoft Excel .xls and .xlsx files, and also produce other file formats such as .et, .txt, .csv, .pdf, and .dbf. It supports multiple tabs, VBA macro and PDF converting.[10]
- Lotus SmartSuiteLotus 123 – for MS Windows. In its MS-DOS (character cell) version, widely considered to be responsible for the explosion of popularity of spreadsheets during the 80s and early 90s.[citation needed]
- MarinerPak Mariner Calc – for Apple Macintosh. Full featured and light weight.
- Microsoft OfficeExcel – for MS Windows and Apple Macintosh. The proprietary spreadsheet leader.
- Microsoft Works Spreadsheet – for MS Windows (previously MS-DOS and Apple Macintosh). Only allows one sheet at a time.
- PlanMaker – for MS Windows, Linux, MS Windows Mobile and CE; part of SoftMaker Office
- Quattro Pro – part of WordPerfect Office
- StarOffice Calc – Cross-platform. StarOffice was originally developed by the German company Star Division which was purchased by Sun in 1998. The code was made open source and became OpenOffice.org. Sun continues developing the commercial version which periodically integrates the open source code with their own and third party code to make new low price versions.
Stand alone spreadsheets[edit]
- As-Easy-As – from Trius, Inc.; unsupported; last MS-DOS and Windows versions available with free full license key.
