The nRF7002 is a companion IC, providing seamless Wi-Fi connectivity and Wi-Fi-based locationing (SSID sniffing of local Wi-Fi hubs). It is designed to be used alongside Nordic’s existing nRF52® and nRF53® Series Bluetooth Systems-on-Chip (SoCs), and nRF91® Series cellular IoT Systems-in-Package (SiPs). The nRF7002 can also be used in conjunction with non-Nordic host devices. An nRF7002-based device, or a nRF7002 Development Kit (DK) is required. Key features: * Provisioning nRF7002 devices to Wi-Fi networks over BLE, Wi-Fi itself or NFC. * Reading device status, including Wi-Fi connection state. * Re-provisioning nRF7002 devices to a different network.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: nRF Wi at none against Document Detection's shown. Document Detection's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
