The short version
- Only Rows has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: Rows refresh frequency is the metered resource, so the free plan refreshes manually only and daily automation begins on the paid tier, which means the automatic reporting that justifies the tool is exactly what the free plan withholds.; Streaks it is iOS and Apple Watch only, with no Android version, so it is not usable for anyone outside Apple's ecosystem.
- They diverge on capability: Rows covers Integrations in formulas, Streaks covers Streak tracking.

Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Rows
- Refresh frequency is the metered resource, so the free plan refreshes manually only and daily automation begins on the paid tier, which means the automatic reporting that justifies the tool is exactly what the free plan withholds.
- Exports carry values rather than connections, so a downloaded file from Rows is a dead snapshot and anything you built has to be reconstructed from scratch elsewhere, which makes recurring reports quietly expensive to move.
- Guests are capped by tier at three on free and ten on the entry plan, so sharing a report with a client's team or a group of stakeholders pushes you up a tier for people who only ever look at a page.
- It is not Excel or Google Sheets, so the function library, add-ins, pivot behaviour, scripting and offline files people rely on are not all present, and it works as a reporting surface rather than as an organisation's general spreadsheet.
- The Pro tier adds a fixed monthly platform charge on top of the per-user price, so moving from daily to intra-day refresh, or from ten guests to a real audience, is a step change in cost rather than an increment.
Streaks
- It is iOS and Apple Watch only, with no Android version, so it is not usable for anyone outside Apple's ecosystem.
- The base app caps at 24 tracked habits, which is enough for most users but a real limit for anyone wanting to track a larger number of items.
- Sync is via iCloud only, so there is no web or cross-platform account, which limits use to Apple devices exclusively.
- It has fewer social or accountability features, such as shared habit tracking with friends, compared with some subscription-based competitors.
- A single lifetime purchase means no ongoing development revenue tied to the individual user, so it depends on new sales and occasional priced major updates rather than recurring income to fund development.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Rows: Can it replace Excel or Google Sheets?
Not for general spreadsheet work. It is for reports and sheets that pull live data, and most teams end up running it alongside a conventional spreadsheet rather than instead of one.
Streaks: Is Streaks a subscription?
No, it is a one-time App Store purchase, currently priced around 5.99 USD, with no recurring fee.
Rows: What can I actually do on the free plan?
Real building: unlimited members, ten integration accounts, five AI tasks a month, 1 MB imports, three guests and seven days of version history. What you cannot do is schedule a refresh.
Streaks: Does it work on Android?
No, it is iOS and Apple Watch only.
Rows: Does the data stay live after I export?
No. Exports contain values only, so the connections and the scheduling do not travel and the file stops updating the moment it leaves.
Streaks: Does it integrate with Apple Health?
Yes, habits tied to metrics like steps or sleep can auto-complete based on Apple Health data.
Rows: Is pricing per user?
Yes on the paid tiers, with a fixed platform fee added at Pro. Guests are counted and capped separately from members.
