Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: PDF Editor, Scanner at 5.0 against PDF Converter's 4.4. PDF Editor, Scanner also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). PDF Converter's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (6K vs 5). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
