# Scanner PDF vs Fold

The clearest difference is ads: Fold at none against Scanner PDF's shown. Scanner PDF's advantage is ratings volume (9 vs 1) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Scanner PDF sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and Fold sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Scanner PDF against 5.0 for Fold. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scanner PDF has 9 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
