Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Google Docs at none against Wordot's shown. Google Docs also leads on ratings volume (3.2M vs 66) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). Wordot's advantage is review sentiment (90% vs 70%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Google Docs sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $199.99 per year and Wordot sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Google Docs holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Google Docs has 3.2M ratings behind it against 66, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Google Docs's written reviews are positive against 90% of Wordot's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Google Docs ships an update weekly, Wordot fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
