Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: PDF Scanner Pro ⊟ at 4.7 against DocScan's 4.1. PDF Scanner Pro ⊟ also leads on ratings volume (6.1K vs 15) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). DocScan's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 40%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PDF Scanner Pro ⊟ sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and DocScan sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PDF Scanner Pro ⊟ holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PDF Scanner Pro ⊟ has 6.1K ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of PDF Scanner Pro ⊟'s written reviews are positive against 67% of DocScan's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

PDF Scanner Pro ⊟ ships an update fortnightly, DocScan monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
