Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Documents at 626K against Weex's 247. Documents also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and chart position (#68 vs unranked). Weex's advantage is review sentiment (93% vs 71%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Documents sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Weex sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
