Verdict
Google Docs and Forms+ both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 70% of Google Docs's written reviews are positive against 44% of Forms+'s. Google Docs also leads on ratings volume (3.2M vs 45K) and chart position (#9 vs #162). Forms+'s advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Google Docs sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $199.99 per year and Forms+ sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Google Docs against 4.8 for Forms+. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Google Docs has 3.2M ratings behind it against 45K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 70% of Google Docs's written reviews are positive against 44% of Forms+'s.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
