# Summary vs Document Signer

The clearest difference is ads: Document Signer at none against Summary's shown. Document Signer also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Summary's advantage is ratings volume (12 vs 3) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Summary sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per 7 days and Document Signer sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Document Signer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 12 and 3 respectively.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
