# Microsoft Copilot vs Office Suite

The clearest difference is rating: Microsoft Copilot at 4.7 against Office Suite's 4.1. Microsoft Copilot also leads on ratings volume (1.3M vs 361) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). Office Suite's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (38% vs 29%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Microsoft Copilot sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Office Suite sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Microsoft Copilot holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Microsoft Copilot has 1.3M ratings behind it against 361, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Microsoft Copilot's written reviews are positive against 38% of Office Suite's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Microsoft Copilot ships an update every 4 days, Office Suite every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
