Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: PDF Editor at 100% against One Scan's 26%. PDF Editor also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 2 months). One Scan's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (12K vs 3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
