# Screenshot Editor vs PDFAI Scan

The clearest difference is rating: PDFAI Scan at 5.0 against Screenshot Editor's 4.0. Screenshot Editor's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (40 vs 7). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Screenshot Editor sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and PDFAI Scan sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PDFAI Scan holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Screenshot Editor has 40 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Screenshot Editor's written reviews are positive against 50% of PDFAI Scan's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Screenshot Editor ships an update fortnightly, PDFAI Scan every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
