# Zoho Scanner vs Wrist PDF Viewer

The clearest difference is rating: Wrist PDF Viewer at 5.0 against Zoho Scanner's 4.4. Zoho Scanner's advantage is monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and review sentiment (78% vs 63%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Zoho Scanner sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Wrist PDF Viewer sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Wrist PDF Viewer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Zoho Scanner has 89 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Zoho Scanner's written reviews are positive against 63% of Wrist PDF Viewer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Zoho Scanner ships an update fortnightly, Wrist PDF Viewer every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
