# Office Word vs Office Word Editor

Office Word and Office Word Editor both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Office Word Editor's written reviews are positive against 35% of Office Word's. Office Word Editor also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). Office Word's advantage is ratings volume (9.7K vs 108) and chart position (#59 vs unranked).

Both are free to download. Office Word sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Office Word Editor sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
