Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: DocVilla Doctor at none against DocUpdate's shown. DocVilla Doctor also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). DocUpdate's advantage is ratings volume (2.8K vs 2) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 5 weeks). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
