Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: BabyFile at 4.0 against PDF Read's 2.6. BabyFile also leads on review sentiment (92% vs 63%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). PDF Read's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
