Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: DocUpdate at 4.8 against RXNT's 4.3. DocUpdate also leads on chart position (#188 vs unranked) and ratings volume (2.7K vs 354). RXNT's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
