Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Scan My Document at none against PDF Editor's shown. Scan My Document also leads on review sentiment (48% vs 20%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.4). PDF Editor's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.3). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Scan My Document sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and PDF Editor sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PDF Editor holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1.3K and 461 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of Scan My Document's written reviews are positive against 20% of PDF Editor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
