# PDF Converterㅤ vs Notebook

The clearest difference is rating: PDF Converterㅤ at 4.4 against Notebook's 4.1. Notebook's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (16 vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PDF Converterㅤ sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Notebook sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PDF Converterㅤ ships an update every 5 weeks, Notebook every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 15, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
