Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Rogbot at none against Simple Pdf's 3. Rogbot also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). Simple Pdf's advantage is iOS requirement (15.5 vs 26.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
