# PDF vs PDFlexor

The clearest difference is rating: PDFlexor at 5.0 against PDF's 1.0. PDFlexor also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks). PDF's advantage is ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PDF sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and PDFlexor sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PDFlexor holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PDF has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

PDF ships an update every 2 weeks, PDFlexor every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
