Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Scanner PDF at 20K against Document Scanner ㅤ's 63. Scanner PDF also leads on review sentiment (32% vs 17%). Document Scanner ㅤ's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Document Scanner ㅤ sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Scanner PDF sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Document Scanner ㅤ holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scanner PDF has 20K ratings behind it against 63, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of Document Scanner ㅤ's written reviews are positive against 32% of Scanner PDF's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Document Scanner ㅤ ships an update monthly, Scanner PDF every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
