Whereas the LibreOffice office is completely free and open-source, i.e., the source code is publicly available for use. Also, you need to register with your E-mail ID, to use the free version of the FreeOffice office suite.

Utilities providedīoth of these suites come with basic office productivity tools such as a word processor, spreadsheet manager & presentation maker. All the basic tools are right in front of you, which makes it preferable over FreeOffice. I personally liked LibreOffice as I don’t have to switch to different tabs for finding different tools. The workflow is very smooth and both of them are quite easy to use. They load up very fast and don’t lag at all. They are lightweight, consume lesser resources and operate very smoothly without any hiccups. In terms of performance, both of them out-perform Microsoft Office.

It has smaller icons for the commands which makes it easier to find the required tools. The colour scheme is kind of monotonic and pale. It resembles that of Google Docs, having a single tab for all the basic and most frequently used tools. On the other hand, LibreOffice has a very minimalistic UI.
