Microsoft 365, the suite that has the best of both online and desktop worlds, starts at $69.99 per year for one person and 1TB of online storage. Competitors, such as Libre Office and Apple iWork, are both free, for example, but also offer desktop apps, LibreOffice on all desktop platforms, Apple on Mac hardware only. The real disadvantage of Google’s apps, in both the free and paid versions, is the lack of desktop apps that work offline. One major difference between the free and paid versions is that the free version won’t let you create document templates easily, while the paid version lets you build and upload templates with a couple of mouse clicks.
Google’s free apps have almost all the features you get in the same-named apps in the subscription-based Google Workspace, which is now open to everyone with a Google account, at prices starting at $6 per user per month. For a more complete and stable experience, we recommend Editors' Choice winner Microsoft 365. If you’re willing to live with these limitations, Google’s office suite may be all you ever need. Unlike rival suites, Google doesn’t offer traditional desktop versions and, unless you plan ahead, you can’t use them without an internet connection.
The apps also have best-in-class collaboration and revision-tracking features. This free office suite integrates all the power and capabilities most people will ever need into intuitive web and mobile experiences.
