Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Scanner at free with in-app purchases against PDF & Document Scanner.'s subscription. Scanner also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 31 months). PDF & Document Scanner.'s advantage is ratings volume (4.7K vs 4) and chart position (#174 vs unranked). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PDF & Document Scanner. sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and Scanner sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for PDF & Document Scanner. against 4.8 for Scanner. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PDF & Document Scanner. has 4.7K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.
PDF & Document Scanner. ships an update every 31 months, Scanner every 3 days. Both last shipped on November 13, 2026.
