Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: PDF Maker at none against PDF Editor's shown. PDF Maker also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (393 vs 8). PDF Editor's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
