# Documents vs My Space

The clearest difference is rating: Documents at 4.8 against My Space's 4.1. Documents also leads on ratings volume (626K vs 13) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). My Space's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Documents sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and My Space sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Documents holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Documents has 626K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 71% of Documents's written reviews are positive against 64% of My Space's.

Documents ships an update weekly, My Space fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and June 10, 2026 respectively.
