# DocUpdate vs TRUE

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 (#197 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

TRUE holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DocUpdate has 2.8K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 61% of DocUpdate's written reviews are positive against 100% of TRUE's.

DocUpdate ships an update every 11 days, TRUE every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
