# Cleanly vs PDF Reader

The clearest difference is rating: PDF Reader at 5.0 against Cleanly's 4.1. PDF Reader also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). Cleanly's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (11 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cleanly sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and PDF Reader sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PDF Reader holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cleanly has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Cleanly ships an update fortnightly, PDF Reader every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
