Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: eNcounterView at 100% against DocUpdate's 61%. eNcounterView also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). DocUpdate's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (2.8K vs 2). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
