# DocUpdate vs TDO Mobile v3

The clearest difference is ads: TDO Mobile v3 at none against DocUpdate's shown. TDO Mobile v3 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 1) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, 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.

TDO Mobile v3 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.

DocUpdate ships an update fortnightly, TDO Mobile v3 monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 8, 2026 respectively.
