Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Scan Expert at free with in-app purchases against PDF Editor's subscription. Scan Expert also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 70%) and update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). PDF Editor's advantage is ratings volume (918 vs 10) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Scan Expert sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and PDF Editor sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 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 — 4.5 for Scan Expert against 4.5 for PDF Editor. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PDF Editor has 918 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of Scan Expert's written reviews are positive against 70% of PDF Editor's.
Scan Expert ships an update every 6 days, PDF Editor fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
