# Cam to PDF vs Mobile Scanner App

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Mobile Scanner App at 80% against Cam to PDF's 17%. Mobile Scanner App also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 18 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cam to PDF sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Mobile Scanner App sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Mobile Scanner App holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mobile Scanner App has 56K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 17% of Cam to PDF's written reviews are positive against 80% of Mobile Scanner App's.

Cam to PDF ships an update every 18 months, Mobile Scanner App every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 1, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
