Documents Pro, Download & Edit also leads on ratings volume (4.7K vs 60) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Livedrive's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown).

Both are free to download. Documents Pro, Download & Edit sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Livedrive asks for nothing beyond the download.

Livedrive holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Documents Pro, Download & Edit has 4.7K ratings behind it against 60, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Documents Pro, Download & Edit's written reviews are positive against 23% of Livedrive's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
