Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Microsoft SharePoint at 4.6 against Google Cloud Search's 3.7. Microsoft SharePoint also leads on ratings volume (140K vs 39) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). Google Cloud Search's advantage is iOS requirement (10.0 vs 18.6). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Microsoft SharePoint holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Microsoft SharePoint has 140K ratings behind it against 39, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 26% of Microsoft SharePoint's written reviews are positive against 27% of Google Cloud Search's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Microsoft SharePoint ships an update fortnightly, Google Cloud Search every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and July 17, 2026 respectively.
