Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: IHDM at 4.0 against Scan to Excel's 3.3. IHDM also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1). Scan to Excel's advantage is update cadence (every 5 months vs every 15 months) and review sentiment (17% vs 0%). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Scan to Excel sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $6.99 per month. IHDM asks for nothing beyond the download.
IHDM holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scan to Excel has 12 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of Scan to Excel's written reviews are positive against 0% of IHDM's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Scan to Excel ships an update every 5 months, IHDM every 15 months. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
