# PDF Compression vs PDFLover

The clearest difference is ads: PDFLover at none against PDF Compression's shown. PDF Compression's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1) and iOS requirement (18.5 vs 26.2). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PDF Compression sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and PDFLover sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for PDF Compression against 5.0 for PDFLover. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PDF Compression has 5 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.
