Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: EasyScan at 5.0 against PDFelement's 4.6. PDFelement's advantage is ratings volume (7.6K vs 1) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. PDFelement sells 18 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and EasyScan sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
EasyScan holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PDFelement has 7.6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
PDFelement ships an update every 10 days, EasyScan every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
