Rivmu vs iLovePDF
iLovePDF offers more tools, including OCR. Rivmu's edge is that files never leave your device.
Where iLovePDF is stronger
It covers Office conversion, signature requests and OCR, with fuller access on paid plans, and it has desktop and mobile apps for paying users. If you need those, Rivmu can't replace it today.
Where Rivmu is stronger
