Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sans Paper Id at none against Google Drive's 14. Sans Paper Id also leads on iOS requirement (13.4 vs 17.0). Google Drive's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#9 vs unranked). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
