Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: DocUpdate at 4.8 against Medpaid's 4.3. DocUpdate also leads on ratings volume (2.8K vs 11) and chart position (#161 vs unranked). Medpaid'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.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
DocUpdate holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DocUpdate has 2.8K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of DocUpdate's written reviews are positive against 70% of Medpaid's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
DocUpdate ships an update every 11 days, Medpaid every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
