    It's a Database platform, not spreadsheet document creator platform. It's more like Airtable, Seatable, Stackby, Obvibase and Binders.

    Best alternative to Google Sheets. It's online, lightweight and really fast. It has all the features I need. Plus, it's open-source and not owned by Google.

    Possibly the best if you have linux or WSL. Google sheets has a few useful features but for an offline alternative to libreoffice, it's about neck and neck for me though I like how gnumeric is it's own standalone program.
