Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: MySend at free against PatchDoc's free with in-app purchases. MySend also leads on device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 17.0). PatchDoc's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
