Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: PDF to Word at free with in-app purchases against PDF Converter's subscription. PDF Converter's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (6K vs 76). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support 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 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and PDF to Word sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
PDF to Word holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PDF Converter has 6K ratings behind it against 76, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of PDF Converter's written reviews are positive against 48% of PDF to Word's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
PDF Converter ships an update fortnightly, PDF to Word every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 13, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
