Key features - Send photos from the in-app camera straight to a Notion database or page - Send from other apps (Photos and more) via the share sheet - Document scanning: finds the paper's edges and captures it straight - OCR fills in a page title from text in your photo — review and edit before sending - Save favorite destinations and switch with one tap - Series: for things you photograph again and again — workouts, kids growing up, plants, the view from your window. Your previous photo is overlaid so you can match the framing, and you can share before/after or grid images - Storage mode: photograph what's on each shelf or closet and search "where did I put it?" — QR labels supported - Logs capture time and moon age; optionally location, weather, temperature, and pressure - Reminders for photos you forgot to send, and a sent history Sign in with your Notion account (OAuth) and you're ready.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PictUp at none against ThreadMaster's 15. ThreadMaster's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 9 days). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
