Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: DocUpdate at 61% against Antithrombotic Guidelines's 0%. DocUpdate also leads on price (Free vs $3.99) and rating (4.8 vs 2.2). Antithrombotic Guidelines's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 11 days). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
