Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: NetDocuments at 2.2 against Actionstep's 2.0. NetDocuments also leads on ratings volume (31 vs 4). Actionstep's advantage is review sentiment (27% vs 13%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
NetDocuments holds the better App Store score, 2.2 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NetDocuments has 31 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of NetDocuments's written reviews are positive against 27% of Actionstep's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
NetDocuments ships an update every 2 months, Actionstep every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
