Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Google Voice at weekly against DYCD docUP's every 7 months. Google Voice also leads on ratings volume (62K vs 110) and chart position (#36 vs unranked). DYCD docUP's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 26.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
