If you value MS office compatibility over all else, OnlyOffice is a better choice. I still use LibreOffice for PDFs, though.

Agreed, I've had much more success with the horrors of .docx-compatability with OnlyOffice. It's not 100% perfect either, but has brought me less suffering overall. As much as I'd like to avoid Microsoft Office, depending on your situation that may unfortunately not always be so easy.

Yea, Office was why I originally created WinApps. But really don't need to use it anymore with OnlyOffice.

Their site is a bit confusing. It's not clear whether it is free or if their is a cost to use it.

I'm not sure I follow, OnlyOffice is FOSS, buit has hosted solutions you can pay for, or you can download it for free to run as desktop apps or to self-host.
