Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: PDF Tools & Utilities at 67% against The Document Converter's 36%. PDF Tools & Utilities also leads on monetization model (free vs freemium) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.6). The Document Converter's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (6K vs 11). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

The Document Converter holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Document Converter has 6K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of The Document Converter's written reviews are positive against 67% of PDF Tools & Utilities's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
