Comparison scope and notes
Compares Excel for Microsoft 365 on Windows with Google Sheets on the web. Univer includes the full Office SDK and optional modules. The comparison covers each product's built-in features, excluding AI, external data and business data sources, separate products, and add-ons. JavaScript, VBA, and Apps Script can all automate tasks; Univer and Google Sheets do not preserve VBA code or projects on import and export. Plan, platform, and integration requirements are noted where relevant.
The open-source edition includes only the frontend editors, not server components. Its formula engine has lower performance than the commercial edition.
Information updated in October 2026. The comparison covers built-in features, excluding separate external products and add-ons. Univer includes the full Office SDK and optional modules; some features require server components.
Supported means the listed task can be completed. Partially supported means limitations apply; see the cell notes. Not supported means the compared version does not offer the feature.
AI functions, assistants, and generative features are excluded. Import/export support does not guarantee identical content, fonts, or calculation results. Test complex files with your own samples.

Editor features and PPTX round-trip compatibility are compared separately. API, template, browser rendering, and service requirements are noted where relevant. Only built-in features are compared, excluding AI, separate products, and add-ons.
The open-source edition includes only the frontend editors, not server components. Its formula engine has lower performance than the commercial edition.
Information updated in October 2026. The comparison covers built-in features, excluding separate external products and add-ons. Univer includes the full Office SDK and optional modules; some features require server components.
Supported means the listed task can be completed. Partially supported means limitations apply; see the cell notes. Not supported means the compared version does not offer the feature.
AI functions, assistants, and generative features are excluded. Import/export support does not guarantee identical content, fonts, or calculation results. Test complex files with your own samples.

Comparison scope and notes
Compares the paid desktop versions of Acrobat Pro and Foxit PDF Editor, with advanced Foxit features identified by the required edition, such as Pro. Univer includes the full Office SDK and optional modules, with SDK API and UI capabilities distinguished where relevant. Text and image editing depend on the PDF's content structure. OCR, scanning, or compression tools called by external agents require separate integrations and are not built-in Univer features. Generative AI is excluded; conventional OCR is included. Partial support notes describe the applicable scope.
The open-source edition includes only the frontend editors, not server components. Its formula engine has lower performance than the commercial edition.
Information updated in October 2026. The comparison covers built-in features, excluding separate external products and add-ons. Univer includes the full Office SDK and optional modules; some features require server components.
Supported means the listed task can be completed. Partially supported means limitations apply; see the cell notes. Not supported means the compared version does not offer the feature.
AI functions, assistants, and generative features are excluded. Import/export support does not guarantee identical content, fonts, or calculation results. Test complex files with your own samples.

Comparison scope and notes
Compares the Univer Charts SDK, Excel for Microsoft 365 on Windows, and Google Sheets, including its official chart API. Only chart types are compared, not formatting, axes, or interactions. Images, cell color scales, and separate add-ons are not counted as built-in charts. Partial support notes describe available combinations or approximations. All examples use sample data.
The open-source edition includes only the frontend editors, not server components. Its formula engine has lower performance than the commercial edition.
Information updated in October 2026. The comparison covers built-in features, excluding separate external products and add-ons. Univer includes the full Office SDK and optional modules; some features require server components.
