Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Door Minder at monthly against NICE DIGI's every 6 months. Door Minder also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). NICE DIGI's advantage is rating (2.4 vs 2.1) and ratings volume (57 vs 10). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
