Both are free to download. Dark Reader sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per year. PDF Reader Pro asks for nothing beyond the download.
Dark Reader holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 8 and 7 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of PDF Reader Pro's written reviews are positive against 30% of Dark Reader's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
PDF Reader Pro ships an update every 4 months, Dark Reader every 2 months. Both last shipped on September 28, 2026.
