Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Text Replace at none against PDFelement's 20. Text Replace also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). PDFelement's advantage is ratings volume (7.6K vs 2). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
