# Text Extractor vs Image To PDF

The clearest difference is rating: Image To PDF at 5.0 against Text Extractor's 4.3. Image To PDF also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months). Text Extractor's advantage is ratings volume (32 vs 4) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
