Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: pdfFiller at none against PDF to Word's shown. pdfFiller also leads on ratings volume (8.5K vs 72) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). PDF to Word's advantage is review sentiment (48% vs 20%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. pdfFiller sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month and PDF to Word sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for pdfFiller against 4.5 for PDF to Word. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: pdfFiller has 8.5K ratings behind it against 72, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 20% of pdfFiller's written reviews are positive against 48% of PDF to Word's.
pdfFiller ships an update fortnightly, PDF to Word every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
