# PDF Reader vs Document PDF Scanner.

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Document PDF Scanner. at 100% against PDF Reader's 50%. Document PDF Scanner. also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). PDF Reader's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (64 vs 12). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PDF Reader sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Document PDF Scanner. sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PDF Reader holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PDF Reader has 64 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of PDF Reader's written reviews are positive against 100% of Document PDF Scanner.'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
