# ParentDocket vs Documented

The clearest difference is ads: ParentDocket at none against Documented's shown. ParentDocket also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). Documented's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months) and chart position (#186 vs unranked). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
