Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: APX SmartCapture at 100% against SiteDocs's 28%. SiteDocs's advantage is rating (2.8 vs 2.0) and ratings volume (45 vs 6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
SiteDocs holds the better App Store score, 2.8 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SiteDocs has 45 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of APX SmartCapture's written reviews are positive against 28% of SiteDocs's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
APX SmartCapture ships an update monthly, SiteDocs every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
