Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Barcode and QR Reader at none against Office's 3. Barcode and QR Reader also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.6). Office's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 111 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
