Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: FastCast at 5.0 against DigiLocker's 3.3. FastCast also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 35%) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). DigiLocker's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ratings volume (196 vs 3). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
