# WriteControl vs PDF to EPUB

The clearest difference is rating: PDF to EPUB at 4.2 against WriteControl's 3.0. PDF to EPUB also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). WriteControl's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WriteControl sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $12.90 per month and PDF to EPUB sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PDF to EPUB holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PDF to EPUB has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

WriteControl ships an update weekly, PDF to EPUB fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
