# PDF Editor vs PDF Maker

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.

Both are free to download. PDF Editor sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and PDF Maker sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PDF Maker holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PDF Maker has 393 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two.
