# Documents vs Office Plus

The clearest difference is rating: Documents at 4.8 against Office Plus's 3.6. Documents also leads on ratings volume (628K vs 5) and chart position (#59 vs unranked). Office Plus's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Documents sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Office Plus 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 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Documents has 628K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Documents's written reviews are positive against 78% of Office Plus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Documents ships an update every 6 days, Office Plus every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and September 11, 2026 respectively.
