Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: DartPDF at Free against Binly's $1.99. DartPDF also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). Binly's advantage is ratings volume (7 vs 1). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
