The clearest difference is review sentiment: Text Extractor at 71% against Cam to PDF's 17%. Text Extractor also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 18 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cam to PDF sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Text Extractor sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
