# PDFs vs Cue

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Cue at 73% against PDFs's 50%. PDFs's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PDFs sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Cue sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PDFs holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 76 and 64 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of PDFs's written reviews are positive against 73% of Cue's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

PDFs ships an update weekly, Cue every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and August 26, 2026 respectively.
