# Google Cloud vs Project

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Project at 100% against Google Cloud's 30%. Project also leads on rating (4.9 vs 3.4) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Google Cloud's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (102 vs 14). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Project holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Google Cloud has 102 ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 30% of Google Cloud's written reviews are positive against 100% of Project's.

Google Cloud ships an update weekly, Project every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and August 17, 2026 respectively.
