Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: pdfFiller at none against PDF Document Scanner Editor's shown. pdfFiller also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 39 months) and ratings volume (8.5K vs 11). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. pdfFiller sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month and PDF Document Scanner Editor sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PDF Document Scanner Editor holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: pdfFiller has 8.5K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of pdfFiller's written reviews are positive against 0% of PDF Document Scanner Editor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

pdfFiller ships an update fortnightly, PDF Document Scanner Editor every 39 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and August 1, 2026 respectively.
