Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: SOMOS QR+ at none against DocUpdate's shown. SOMOS QR+ also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). DocUpdate's advantage is ratings volume (2.8K vs 2) and chart position (#189 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
