Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: PDFNext at 100% against PDF Editor's 25%. PDFNext also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.9) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). PDF Editor's advantage is ratings volume (31 vs 2) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
