# Brainwaves vs PDF Editor・PDF File Converter

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Brainwaves at 76% against PDF Editor・PDF File Converter's 18%. Brainwaves also leads on ratings volume (3.3K vs 154) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). PDF Editor・PDF File Converter's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Brainwaves sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month and PDF Editor・PDF File Converter sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PDF Editor・PDF File Converter holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Brainwaves has 3.3K ratings behind it against 154, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Brainwaves's written reviews are positive against 18% of PDF Editor・PDF File Converter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Brainwaves ships an update weekly, PDF Editor・PDF File Converter every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
