Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Documents (Office Docs) at Free against Documents's $4.99. Documents (Office Docs) also leads on ratings volume (43K vs 4.5K) and review sentiment (81% vs 72%). Documents's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#146 vs unranked). On rating, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
