Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: WPS Office at 81% against Document Editor's 26%. WPS Office also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (18K vs 304). Document Editor's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
