Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Google Sheets at none against Forms+'s 8. Google Sheets also leads on ratings volume (1.8M vs 45K) and chart position (#13 vs #157). 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.
