EditGrid is the new kid in the Online Spreadsheet Comunity. It offers whole (almost) set of MS Excel features and more: allows multiple users to work on the same spreadsheet simultaneously, uses web browser as user interface, allows to do export/import in many formats, offers API to use of EditGrid in your application.
Other online spreadsheets:
Here is a comparison matrix between EditGrid, Google Spreadsheet and WikiCalc.
This kind of applications are good and useful for the individuals and small companies. But there is a problem of privacy (I’m talking about services similar Google Spreadsheet). When you store some sensitive information on the server of third part company you should trust it. Or you should be ready that your documents will play against you.
Hi Michael,
I noticed you don’t have sheetster listed in your post. It’s another online spreadsheet that I’ve been personally using because it has some features that google spreadsheets doesn’t have like an integrated blog and the ability to subscribe to cells as RSS feeds.
But with google’s incorporation of irows and acquisition of jotspot, who knows where online spreadsheets will go from here. I like the list you compiled above and it was great seeing what all these different companies are up to. Thanks!
Hi Ed, thanks for your interesting comment and useful link! Sure, google spreadsheets may miss some features. But I agree that it has a good potential to be the best! Also, the most important advantage of google’s products is an integration between them.
