The clearest difference is rating: PDF Reader & Editor at 5.0 against Spaceful's 3.0. Spaceful's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (8 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PDF Reader & Editor sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and Spaceful sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
