# PDF Editor vs Document Reader

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Document Reader at 100% against PDF Editor's 0%. Document Reader also leads on rating (3.0 vs 2.0) and ads (none vs shown). PDF Editor's advantage is ratings volume (9 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PDF Editor sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and Document Reader sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Document Reader holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PDF Editor has 9 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 0% of PDF Editor's written reviews are positive against 100% of Document Reader's.
