# SmartCredit® vs PDF App

The clearest difference is rating: PDF App at 4.7 against SmartCredit®'s 3.4. PDF App also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (928 vs 155). SmartCredit®'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PDF App sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. SmartCredit® asks for nothing beyond the download.

PDF App holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PDF App has 928 ratings behind it against 155, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 34% of SmartCredit®'s written reviews are positive against 37% of PDF App's.
