Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: DocUpdate at 4.8 against Medics Cloud's 3.0. DocUpdate also leads on ratings volume (2.8K vs 1) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). Medics Cloud's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
