ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MergePDF! holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MergePDF! has 123 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of MergePDF!'s written reviews are positive against 67% of Tiny PDF Toolbox・Merge & Split's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MergePDF! ships an update every 10 days, Tiny PDF Toolbox・Merge & Split every 13 months. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
