Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Boeing Toolbox Mobile Library at 3.9 against DocuNet Viewer's 1.0. DocuNet Viewer's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Boeing Toolbox Mobile Library holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 1.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 11 and 5 respectively.
