# Minaret vs PDF Squeeze

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Minaret at none against PDF Squeeze's 1. Minaret also leads on ratings volume (12 vs 1). PDF Squeeze's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PDF Squeeze sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Minaret asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Minaret against 5.0 for PDF Squeeze. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Minaret has 12 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

Minaret ships an update fortnightly, PDF Squeeze every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
