Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Phone Scanner at 88% against PDF Scanner App's 28%. Phone Scanner also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (10.1 vs 13.0). PDF Scanner App's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (6.3K vs 146). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Phone Scanner sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and PDF Scanner App sells 10 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 Scanner App holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PDF Scanner App has 6.3K ratings behind it against 146, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Phone Scanner's written reviews are positive against 28% of PDF Scanner App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Phone Scanner ships an update every 6 weeks, PDF Scanner App every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
