# PDF Reader vs All Document Reader & Viewer

The clearest difference is rating: All Document Reader & Viewer at 4.2 against PDF Reader's 3.5. All Document Reader & Viewer also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (90 vs 2). PDF Reader's advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 0%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PDF Reader sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and All Document Reader & Viewer sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

All Document Reader & Viewer holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: All Document Reader & Viewer has 90 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of PDF Reader's written reviews are positive against 0% of All Document Reader & Viewer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

PDF Reader ships an update every 9 months, All Document Reader & Viewer every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
