Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: PDF Extractor & Converter at 100% against Text Extractor OCR's 50%. PDF Extractor & Converter also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 17 months). Text Extractor OCR's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 3.0) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
