# Clipto vs PDF Editor

The clearest difference is rating: PDF Editor at 5.0 against Clipto's 4.0. PDF Editor also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 8 days) and device support (3 vs 1). Clipto's advantage is ratings volume (52 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Clipto sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $24.99 per month and PDF Editor sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PDF Editor holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clipto has 52 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Clipto ships an update every 8 days, PDF Editor every 2 days. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
