Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Super PDF at 86% against PDF Export's 46%. Super PDF also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 12). PDF Export's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
