# PDF Scanner Pro ⊟ vs PDF

PDF Scanner Pro ⊟ and PDF both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 89% of PDF's written reviews are positive against 40% of PDF Scanner Pro ⊟'s. PDF also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). PDF Scanner Pro ⊟'s advantage is ratings volume (6.1K vs 115).

Both are free to download. PDF Scanner Pro ⊟ sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and PDF sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for PDF Scanner Pro ⊟ against 4.8 for PDF. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PDF Scanner Pro ⊟ has 6.1K ratings behind it against 115, so its average is the more settled of the two.
