Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: PDF Reader at none against WebDAV Navigator's shown. PDF Reader also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). WebDAV Navigator's advantage is review sentiment (76% vs 47%) and rating (4.2 vs 4.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
