Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Templates for Google Docs at 4.5 against Google Cloud's 3.4. Templates for Google Docs also leads on device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Google Cloud's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 12) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
