Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Clipboard sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.19 per month and PDFForge sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
PDFForge holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 18 and 8 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of Clipboard's written reviews are positive against 86% of PDFForge's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Clipboard ships an update every 3 weeks, PDFForge every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
