# PDF vs OCR.net

The clearest difference is ads: OCR.net at none against PDF's shown. OCR.net also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 13.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
