Apple Pages vs Google Docs
Apple Pages is like Microsoft Word for Apple devices, while Google Docs is a browser-based, collaborative document editing service.
Apple Pages
Apple Pages is just a simpler, more polished, more aesthetically pleasing, though less powerful version of Microsoft Word. It has some collaboration features, but they are not as good as Google Docs. Also, the collaboration is limited only to Apple devices.
Google Docs
Google Docs has less formatting options than Apple Pages, but it is still a very powerful tool. Its signature feature is the ability to reliably collaborate on documents with other people, in real time, on every device.
