You can save to camera roll or save as PDF document that is encrypted and protected with password.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Scanner Pro at 78% against Secure Scanner's 50%. Scanner Pro also leads on ratings volume (337K vs 49) and rating (4.9 vs 4.7). Secure Scanner's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
