Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DriveDocket at none against Ember's 3. DriveDocket also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). Ember's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and ratings volume there is nothing between them.
