# PDF Utility vs Custom PDF

The clearest difference is ads: PDF Utility at none against Custom PDF's shown. Custom PDF's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PDF Utility sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Custom PDF sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
