# PDF Editor Docs files scanner vs Document Editor

The clearest difference is monetization model: PDF Editor Docs files scanner at free with in-app purchases against Document Editor's subscription. PDF Editor Docs files scanner also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (40% vs 26%). Document Editor's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (305 vs 18). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PDF Editor Docs files scanner sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Document Editor sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Document Editor holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Document Editor has 305 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of PDF Editor Docs files scanner's written reviews are positive against 26% of Document Editor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

PDF Editor Docs files scanner ships an update every 3 weeks, Document Editor every 2 months. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
