Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: PDF at free with in-app purchases against PDF Converter's subscription. PDF Converter's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. PDF Converter sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and PDF sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for PDF Converter against 4.4 for PDF. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 6K and 1.4K respectively. Written reviews are what separate them: 67% of PDF Converter's written reviews are positive against 60% of PDF's.
PDF Converter ships an update fortnightly, PDF every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
