Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Cellvizio® at 100% against DocUpdate's 61%. Cellvizio® also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). DocUpdate's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (2.8K vs 6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
