# Document Signer vs Paraphrase

The clearest difference is ads: Document Signer at none against Paraphrase's shown. Document Signer also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 56%) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.2). Paraphrase's advantage is ratings volume (158 vs 26). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Document Signer sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Paraphrase sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Document Signer against 4.6 for Paraphrase. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Paraphrase has 158 ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 75% of Document Signer's written reviews are positive against 56% of Paraphrase's.

Document Signer ships an update every 9 days, Paraphrase every 5 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
