Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: FontLab at 95% against PDF Converter's 0%. FontLab also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (3.5K vs 33). PDF Converter's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
