Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: MuseView at 100% against PDF Maker's 29%. MuseView also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). PDF Maker's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MuseView holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PDF Maker has 1.2K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 29% of PDF Maker's written reviews are positive against 100% of MuseView's.
