# PDF Scanner vs eSign

The clearest difference is update cadence: eSign at every 6 days against PDF Scanner's every 3 weeks. PDF Scanner's advantage is ratings volume (244 vs 36). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PDF Scanner sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and eSign sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for PDF Scanner against 4.4 for eSign. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PDF Scanner has 244 ratings behind it against 36, so its average is the more settled of the two.
