Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: DigiKey at 4.7 against Creo View Mobile's 1.8. DigiKey also leads on review sentiment (51% vs 24%) and ratings volume (3.4K vs 11). Creo View Mobile's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
