The clearest difference is ads: Spam Text Blocker at none against PDF workbench's shown. Spam Text Blocker also leads on ratings volume (11 vs 2). PDF workbench's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
