# Document Manager vs Word Documents

The clearest difference is update cadence: Document Manager at every 2 months against Word Documents's every 8 months. Document Manager also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.3) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). Word Documents's advantage is review sentiment (20% vs 0%) and ratings volume (145 vs 38). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Document Manager sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Word Documents sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Document Manager holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 38 and 145 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Document Manager's written reviews are positive against 20% of Word Documents's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Document Manager ships an update every 2 months, Word Documents every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on September 2, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
