Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Digext at 100% against DigiLocker's 35%. Digext also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.3) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). DigiLocker's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ratings volume (196 vs 12). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
