Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: DocuTrial at 5.0 against FileCentral's 4.7. DocuTrial also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months). FileCentral's advantage is ratings volume (30 vs 3) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
