Google Docs and Microsoft Word are both very helpful apps that allow students to type up papers. Both of them are similar in function, but there are some major differences between the two. The question is, which one is better?
Microsoft Word is part of a package that is offered by Microsoft that also includes other Microsoft apps such as Presentation. Word is not online so in order to work on the same project you would need to work on the same computer. In addition, you also need to save your work often since Word does not have an autosave.
Google Docs first off is completely free unlike Microsoft Word. Also unlike Microsoft Word, Docs is tied to your online Google account so that you can work on the same project on any device. This also has an autosave so you don't need to save a lot when working.
Overall, Microsoft Word with the paywall and only able to work on one device puts Word at a very bad disadvantage. With Docs being completely free, easy to use, and also completely online, it is the best app to use out of the two.
