Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Scan to Excel at none against Doc's shown. Scan to Excel also leads on rating (3.3 vs 3.0). Doc's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months) and review sentiment (33% vs 17%). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Doc sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Scan to Excel sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Scan to Excel holds the better App Store score, 3.3 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 21 and 12 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Doc's written reviews are positive against 17% of Scan to Excel's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Doc ships an update monthly, Scan to Excel every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on August 6, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
