Both are free to download. eScanner sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and PDF Scanner Documents sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PDF Scanner Documents holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PDF Scanner Documents has 59 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of eScanner's written reviews are positive against 20% of PDF Scanner Documents's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

eScanner ships an update every 6 days, PDF Scanner Documents every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
