## Availability

The Google Docs Editors suite is available free of charge for users with personal Google accounts. It is also offered as part of Google's business-centered service, Google Workspace.[4][5]

## Competition

The suite mainly competes with Microsoft Office and iWork software suites.[6] It pioneered real-time collaborative editing since its inception in 2006, while Microsoft Office introduced it in 2013.[7]

The suite can open and save files in Microsoft Office file formats like .docx, .xlsx and .pptx . Microsoft Office is a paid suite of productivity apps while Google Docs Editors Suite is available for free to users with private Google accounts. It is also offered as part of Google's business-oriented Google Workspace service, which ran until October 2020 under the name G Suite, a monthly subscription service that unlocks additional features.[8][9]

iWork competes with Google Docs Editors on features and real-time collaboration, but is primarily used on Apple platforms like macOS and iOS.
