Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ASUS AiCloud at none against PDFloki's 1. ASUS AiCloud also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). PDFloki's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 4 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
