# Mobile Scanner App vs PDF Scanner Pro *

The clearest difference is rating: Mobile Scanner App at 4.8 against PDF Scanner Pro *'s 4.4. Mobile Scanner App also leads on ratings volume (56K vs 87) and chart position (#67 vs unranked). PDF Scanner Pro *'s advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 80%) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mobile Scanner App sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and PDF Scanner Pro * sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Mobile Scanner App holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mobile Scanner App has 56K ratings behind it against 87, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Mobile Scanner App's written reviews are positive against 100% of PDF Scanner Pro *'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Mobile Scanner App ships an update every 2 weeks, PDF Scanner Pro * every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 11, 2026 respectively.
