Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Google Docs at 4.8 against Themes for PowerPoint's 4.2. Google Docs also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (3.3M vs 51). Themes for PowerPoint's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 70%) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Google Docs sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $199.99 per year and Themes for PowerPoint sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. 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 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Google Docs has 3.3M ratings behind it against 51, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Google Docs's written reviews are positive against 100% of Themes for PowerPoint'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, Themes for PowerPoint every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
