Smart PDF+ Editor holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smart PDF+ Editor has 53 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of MobiFolders 4's written reviews are positive against 5% of Smart PDF+ Editor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MobiFolders 4 ships an update every 5 months, Smart PDF+ Editor every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
