Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Par at Free against PDF Ripper's $1.99. Par also leads on rating (3.5 vs 2.7) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 38 months). PDF Ripper's advantage is review sentiment (20% vs 0%). On ratings volume, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
