Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: SmartCare Anywhere at none against DocUpdate's shown. SmartCare Anywhere also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (12.2 vs 15.6). DocUpdate's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (2.8K vs 4). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
