# XCleaner vs PDF Toolkit

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PDF Toolkit at none against XCleaner's 6. XCleaner's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (154 vs 20). On price, rating, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. XCleaner sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. PDF Toolkit asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for XCleaner against 4.4 for PDF Toolkit. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: XCleaner has 154 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two.

XCleaner ships an update fortnightly, PDF Toolkit every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
