Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: TRUE at 100% against DocUpdate's 61%. TRUE also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). DocUpdate's advantage is ratings volume (2.8K vs 1) and chart position (#196 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
