# Password PRO vs PDF Factory Plus

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Password PRO at 100% against PDF Factory Plus's 25%. Password PRO also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 26 months). PDF Factory Plus's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 3.7) and ads (none vs shown). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Password PRO sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and PDF Factory Plus sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PDF Factory Plus holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 9 and 10 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Password PRO's written reviews are positive against 25% of PDF Factory Plus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Password PRO ships an update every 3 weeks, PDF Factory Plus every 26 months. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
