# Text Extract Lit vs PDF Reader

The clearest difference is ads: Text Extract Lit at none against PDF Reader's shown. PDF Reader's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months) and chart position (#153 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Text Extract Lit sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and PDF Reader sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
