# Private Browser vs PDF Scanner & Doc Maker

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Private Browser at 100% against PDF Scanner & Doc Maker's 50%. Private Browser also leads on ratings volume (10 vs 1). PDF Scanner & Doc Maker's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 3.5) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Private Browser sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and PDF Scanner & Doc Maker sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PDF Scanner & Doc Maker holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Private Browser has 10 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Private Browser's written reviews are positive against 50% of PDF Scanner & Doc Maker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
