# PDF Editor vs Signature Creator

The clearest difference is update cadence: Signature Creator at weekly against PDF Editor's every 2 months. Signature Creator also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.3). PDF Editor's advantage is ratings volume (189 vs 21). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PDF Editor sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Signature Creator sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Signature Creator holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PDF Editor has 189 ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two.

PDF Editor ships an update every 2 months, Signature Creator weekly. Both last shipped on September 20, 2026.
