Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: PDFr at 5.0 against PDF Editor's 4.5. PDFr also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.6). PDF Editor's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (88 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PDFr sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and PDF Editor sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
PDFr holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PDF Editor has 88 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of PDFr's written reviews are positive against 98% of PDF Editor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
PDFr ships an update every 3 months, PDF Editor every 8 days. Both last shipped on November 14, 2026.
