Limits worth knowing in LibreOffice Calc

There is no hosted cloud version; The Document Foundation says it does not plan a service like those from Google and Microsoft.
Shared mode merges each user's edits when they save the file, and some commands are unavailable while a spreadsheet is shared.
On Android the foundation offers only a viewer with experimental editing, and it points to Collabora's apps for editing documents on mobile.
The Mac App Store version costs $8.99 and the Microsoft Store version also carries a charge; downloads from the website are free.
