# iScan vs Scanner PDF Editor

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Scanner PDF Editor at 63% against iScan's 16%. Scanner PDF Editor also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5). iScan's advantage is ratings volume (7.8K vs 43) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iScan sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Scanner PDF Editor sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $7.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Scanner PDF Editor holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iScan has 7.8K ratings behind it against 43, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 16% of iScan's written reviews are positive against 63% of Scanner PDF Editor's.

iScan ships an update weekly, Scanner PDF Editor monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
