Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Documents at 4.8 against Unzip's 1.0. Documents also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 23 months) and ratings volume (634K vs 5). Unzip's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
