Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: DocUpdate at 4.8 against Dentulu Provider's 3.9. DocUpdate also leads on ratings volume (2.8K vs 16) and chart position (#201 vs unranked). Dentulu Provider's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
