Google's free online spreadsheet is Google Sheets, a powerful program that opens in your browser. While it's a standalone product, it's part of Google Drive and compatible with other Google online software, such as Google Docs.
Sheets is also part of Google Workspace, which provides deeper collaboration and integration across Google products. Google Workspace is available for free to anyone with a Google account, and there are also paid Google Workspace plans with extended features for organizations.
Google Sheets lets you create, edit, and collaborate on spreadsheets. Sheets has a large template gallery to get you started, and seamless Google connectivity and compatibility.
