# Simple Copy vs PDF

The clearest difference is rating: Simple Copy at 5.0 against PDF's 1.0. Simple Copy also leads on ratings volume (15 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.6). PDF's advantage is price ($3.99 vs $4.99). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Simple Copy costs $4.99 and PDF $3.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Simple Copy holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Simple Copy has 15 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
