Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Scan PDF at 4.8 against VPN's 4.3. VPN's advantage is ratings volume (366 vs 19) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Scan PDF sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and VPN sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings
