Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: WordPress at 4.6 against Google Cloud's 3.4. WordPress also leads on ratings volume (22K vs 103). Google Cloud's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
WordPress holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WordPress has 22K ratings behind it against 103, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 37% of WordPress's written reviews are positive against 30% of Google Cloud's.
WordPress ships an update every 3 weeks, Google Cloud weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
