Manual Binder

Keep the manuals for the things you own together in one calm place. Save a PDF once, give your thing a name and a photo, and come back to the page you need — even offline. Manual Binder is a personal library built around your things, not a pile of file names. • Import PDF manuals from Files, the Share menu or a direct PDF link. • Originals are saved on your device and open without a connection. • Name the pages you use again, like “Cleaning the filter”. • Organize things with your own photos, rooms, model numbers and notes. • Keep warranty cards and receipts with the thing they belong to. • Search your things, bookmarks and the text inside PDFs that contain text. • Export any original, or create a full backup file and restore it on another device. • Works on iPhone, iPad and Mac, with optional iCloud sync between devices signed in to the same Apple Account. The free version holds up to five things and ten unsorted documents. Manual Binder Pro is a one-time purchase that removes these limits. Reading, bookmarks, search, export, backup and restore never require Pro. Manual Binder does not provide a catalog of manufacturers’ manuals. Whether a manufacturer offers a PDF depends on the manufacturer and region. Scanned PDFs without text can’t be searched. Manual Binder is not affiliated with the manufacturers of the products you organize.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Easy QR Code Reader at none against Manual Binder's 1. Easy QR Code Reader also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Manual Binder's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
