Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: TeleDoc Doctor at none against DocUpdate's shown. TeleDoc Doctor also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 11 days). DocUpdate's advantage is ratings volume (2.8K vs 1) and chart position (#192 vs unranked). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
