Verdict

The call

PDF Expert and Site Report Pro both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 76% of Site Report Pro's written reviews are positive against 46% of PDF Expert's. PDF Expert's advantage is ratings volume (216K vs 624) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
