Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: DocUpdate at 61% against Optimantra's 18%. DocUpdate also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.3) and ratings volume (2.8K vs 34). Optimantra's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
