Most scanner apps push a subscription and upload your documents to their cloud. For sensitive papers (IDs, contracts, receipts) that's the opposite of what you want.
What to look for in a scanner app
- OCR so scans become searchable PDFs.
- Everything on-device — no upload, no account.
- A lock (Face ID) for private documents.
- Offline, and a one-time price.
I built ScanTo Pro to do exactly that: scan → OCR → searchable PDF → Face ID lock, fully offline, pay once.
If you're comparing pay-once vs subscription tools generally, I keep a 5-year cost breakdown here → https://alice51849.github.io/ios-app-guide/subscription-swap.html
