# PDF Scan vs Coco Widgets

The clearest difference is ads: Coco Widgets at none against PDF Scan's shown. Coco Widgets also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). PDF Scan's advantage is ratings volume (822 vs 57) and chart position (#32 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.2 for PDF Scan against 4.1 for Coco Widgets. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PDF Scan has 822 ratings behind it against 57, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 19% of PDF Scan's written reviews are positive against 13% of Coco Widgets's.

PDF Scan ships an update every 5 weeks, Coco Widgets monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
