Simple Tables or Table Filter, Charts and Spreadsheets?
This is mainly a choice between a focused interactive table product and a broader reporting suite. Define the job first: improving tables on Confluence pages or building a larger reporting layer.
What Table Filter and Charts is designed to do
Stiltsoft presents its product as a reporting solution with table filters, pivots, charts, and spreadsheet-style capabilities. That breadth is relevant when charts and multi-step reporting workflows are core requirements.
Where Simple Tables is focused
Simple Tables concentrates on making page tables useful: import structured files, enhance native tables, search, sort, group, calculate values, format columns, and export the result.
- Focused table setup rather than a reporting suite
- CSV, JSON and Excel data sources
- Calculated columns and aggregations
- Forge-based Cloud runtime
Decision guide
Evaluate Table Filter and Charts when charts, Gantt views, pivots, and spreadsheet workflows define the purchase. Evaluate Simple Tables when the main requirement is a clearer interactive table embedded in a Confluence page.

Frequently asked questions

Does Simple Tables include grouping and pivot-style summaries?
Yes. Grouping, aggregations, and pivot-table functionality are documented in the Help Center.
Which product is better for charts?
Table Filter and Charts explicitly positions charts as a core capability. Simple Tables should be evaluated when tables, rather than dashboards, are the central output.
