Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: SCM Office at 5.0 against Google Cloud's 3.4. SCM Office also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Google Cloud's advantage is ratings volume (102 vs 1) and update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
