# PDF Reflow vs Recall

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Recall at 100% against PDF Reflow's 44%. Recall also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.6) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). PDF Reflow's advantage is ratings volume (28 vs 2) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PDF Reflow sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Recall asks for nothing beyond the download.

Recall holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PDF Reflow has 28 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 44% of PDF Reflow's written reviews are positive against 100% of Recall's.

PDF Reflow ships an update every 5 days, Recall every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
