I would say excel is top tier, but you are going to pay a premium price for it. A small step down is a price savings and two tools that are really similar: google sheets and Apple Numbers. If I had to pick one I would pick sheets as it is easier to collaborate with. For …

Apple Numbers is great for someone new to spreadsheet applications because the learning curve is easier to manage and the UI is easier to navigate versus the alternative applications out there. It's great for organizing and tracking data and for visualizing information. Switching between desktop and mobile is also very easy

Cons
  • Doesn’t have all the bells and whistles as excel.

Usability
Apple Numbers is pretty intuitive and easy to use. I find it much easier to navigate than its competitor Google Sheets because it seems to have a much simpler interface. It is also easily integrated within Apple devices, so there is no need for additional logins, subscription fees, or software access

Apple Numbers is more aesthetically appealing than Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets. I would say, however, that Microsoft Excel seems to have more tools and bells and whistles than Apple Numbers does. In that same vein, however, Apple Numbers has more bells and whistles than Google Sheets. One of the ways I think Apple Numbers eclipses the other two is the fact that I can access the program on my iPhone.
