# PDF Compressor vs File Compressor

The clearest difference is rating: File Compressor at 5.0 against PDF Compressor's 4.3. PDF Compressor's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (82 vs 10). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PDF Compressor sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and File Compressor sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

File Compressor holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PDF Compressor has 82 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two.
