# PDF Scanner © vs Air Printer

The clearest difference is monetization model: PDF Scanner © at free with in-app purchases against Air Printer's subscription. PDF Scanner © also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). Air Printer's advantage is ratings volume (2.3K vs 64) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PDF Scanner © sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Air Printer sells 18 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.1 for PDF Scanner © against 4.2 for Air Printer. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Air Printer has 2.3K ratings behind it against 64, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 31% of PDF Scanner ©'s written reviews are positive against 28% of Air Printer's.

PDF Scanner © ships an update every 2 months, Air Printer every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
