Based on the data on this page, Auto-LaTeX Equations is the stronger choice for most Google Workspace Marketplace admins — 4.5★ vs Virtual Keyboard's 3.1★ is a meaningful gap that usually reflects real product or support quality differences across the user base.
Pricing entry tiers: Auto-LaTeX Equations at Free of charge, Virtual Keyboard at Free of charge. Check each app's tier structure for the capacity limits you actually need before deciding — the headline number is the same shape, but the gating shape per tier (seats, usage volume, integrations) varies.
Auto-LaTeX Equations has the larger user base (1,822 reviews vs 479), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Virtual Keyboard's smaller cohort can be an advantage for niche workflows where the bigger app has accumulated bloat.
Recommended by size: small/early-stage admins who need fast install and low risk should default to Auto-LaTeX Equations; mid-market and enterprise admins with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — Virtual Keyboard's 479-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Auto-LaTeX Equations's broader-but-shallower coverage.
