Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: DoorGuy at 100% against Pancheros's 59%. DoorGuy also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 months). Pancheros's advantage is ratings volume (11K vs 25) and rating (4.8 vs 4.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Pancheros holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pancheros has 11K ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of Pancheros's written reviews are positive against 100% of DoorGuy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Pancheros ships an update every 5 months, DoorGuy every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
