Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: eSign at free with in-app purchases against PDF Editor's subscription. eSign also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5). PDF Editor's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (921 vs 134). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
