The AI photo-scan reads the card for you and fills the form in 2–3 seconds. — Works with anything. If it has a barcode, CraftPassAI can digitize it. — No account needed. Launch the app, scan a card, done. No email, no password, no profile. — Built for iOS 18. Designed from the ground up for the latest iPhone and iPad. **PRIVACY-FIRST** CraftPassAI was built with privacy as a requirement, not an afterthought. There are no user accounts and no signup — a random anonymous device ID is generated on first launch and never linked to you. When you use the AI photo-scan feature, your photo is relayed to our vision API and discarded immediately — it is never written to disk and never stored in any database. There are no ads, no third-party analytics SDKs, and no tracking of any kind. Full privacy policy: https://craftpassai.com/privacy **PRICING** Download CraftPassAI for $0.99. Regular barcode scanning is free and there is no limit on how many passes you create. The AI photo-scan feature uses scan credits.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Google Cloud at Free against CraftPassAI's $0.99. Google Cloud also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ratings volume (110 vs 2). CraftPassAI's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 3.3) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Google Cloud is free to download; CraftPassAI costs $0.99 up front. CraftPassAI sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Google Cloud asks for nothing beyond the download.
CraftPassAI holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Google Cloud has 110 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
