Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Documents at 4.8 against IIVA's 4.0. Documents also leads on ratings volume (626K vs 33) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). IIVA's advantage is device support (4 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, 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 IIVA sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Documents holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Documents has 626K ratings behind it against 33, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Documents's written reviews are positive against 78% of IIVA's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Documents ships an update weekly, IIVA every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and June 10, 2026 respectively.
