Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 1Panel at none against DockerTab's 2. 1Panel also leads on ratings volume (20 vs 4) and device support (3 vs 1). DockerTab's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
