Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Scan to PDF・Document Scanner at free with in-app purchases against Scanner PDF's subscription. Scan to PDF・Document Scanner also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). Scanner PDF's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (32% vs 0%). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Scanner PDF sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Scan to PDF・Document Scanner sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Scan to PDF・Document Scanner holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scanner PDF has 20K ratings behind it against 127, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of Scanner PDF's written reviews are positive against 0% of Scan to PDF・Document Scanner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Scanner PDF ships an update every 3 months, Scan to PDF・Document Scanner monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
