# Docu Center vs Fieldwire

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Docu Center at none against Fieldwire's 1. Docu Center also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). Fieldwire's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (14K vs 44). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
