Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Folda at none against Office's shown. Folda also leads on ratings volume (85 vs 1). Office's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
