Our Opinion:
We would recommend Google over Alexa because you do not have surrender as many privacies. We prefer the look of the google item more. As users, you can look up and connect to anything that Google can connect to while using the device, whereas Alexa only connects to Amazon. This item gives you the freedom to work with the whole internet and not just one website. The price range is also much more preferred compared to Alexa. The answers Google give are easier to understand. Google also seems to have more answers than Alexa.
