When it comes to offline word processing, the first service which comes in our mind is Microsoft Office Suite which we are using from many years. But buying Microsoft Office Suite is an expensive deal for normal users.
That time, Google Docs comes into rescue which offers online word processing and other office tasks. Even all my word processing is getting done by the web office apps.
There are lot of other users also prefer to work in web apps for several reasons. First, you can access your documents from anywhere, share with others to view and edit, import – export of other documents are easy.
The most important advantage of using these web apps : they are simple and free to use. There are some other web-based alternative of Google Docs which are available on the Internet with some great features and looks.
So, in this article, I am gathering 4 free online apps available as alternative for Google Docs. All these apps offers free and chargeable subscriptions according to your need.

Your blog is awe-inspiring. I have found many new things. Your way of staging is also fascinating. You have elected very incredible topic. I appreciated it.
They are good alternatives but they can never be replacement to Google docs.
Nice app, I only know of Adobe Buzzword. I think Zoho is going to be a good alternative to Google docs…
I’ve been using Zoho for over a two years now.
Google Docs is very basic and good for someone who doesn’t need a large set of features, but if you need more, Zoho is definitely the way to go.
