Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DOI Ethics at none against LawStack's 34. DOI Ethics also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). LawStack's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (379 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

DOI Ethics holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LawStack has 379 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
LawStack ships an update fortnightly, DOI Ethics every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
