Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: PDF Editor at 100% against pdfFiller's 20%. PDF Editor also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). pdfFiller's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (8.5K vs 3). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
