Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Smart Printer at 100% against Scan to PDF's 48%. Smart Printer also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Scan to PDF's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (24K vs 87). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Scan to PDF sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Smart Printer sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Scan to PDF holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scan to PDF has 24K ratings behind it against 87, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of Scan to PDF's written reviews are positive against 100% of Smart Printer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Scan to PDF ships an update every 2 months, Smart Printer every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
