Containd

Stop relying on plain text lists to manage your physical items. Containd is a customizable visual database that lets you map out your exact spaces, from floor plans to specific storage boxes. By placing items onto nested visual canvases, you create an interactive map of your belongings so you always know exactly where everything is located. And since taking inventory is a lot of work and takes its time, the app is designed to maximize speed with which you can add items to your inventory. It does this mainly by creating items for pictures. So adding an item to the inventory is as fast as taking a picture. With the option of having AI fill out all the data for an item based on image analysis, based on a UPC barcode or even through analysis of a invoice of delivery notice. And since lists are hard to work with and keep an overview for many of us, Containd has a 2D canvas for placement of items inside each other and next to each other for a highly visual inventory experience. The idea is to allow mapping out your personal space, reproducing it in a visual and memorable way inside this app. At any point, the app allows you to check your inventory status by generating graphs and charts representing the underlying list data. The main advantages of Containd were designed and are the following: ⢠Inventorization as fast as possible based on one photo per item or by selecting multiple items in one photo and more. ⢠Intuitive and visual managing of items and a highly customizable 2D canvas/ a map of containers and items with drag and drop as core management mechanism. ⢠A high degree of Privacy (fully dependent on your privacy settings) with an offline first basis. Which means your inventory is not mirrored in the cloud and the app always works without the internet. Make sure to backup regularly. ⢠A subscription-less virtual currency model for the optional connected services. [More Key features] ⢠Simple text and advanced parameter item search. ⢠QR and Label generation for items directly in the app. Including full container label with list of content that can be sent from your device directly to a compatible printer via share function. ⢠Hierarchical categories for highly detailed, highly searchable inventory. Also makes creating visually interesting statistics a breeze. ⢠Scan QR to find the item in your catalog (mark a container with a QR, scan. see whats inside in Containd without needing to open it). ⢠Ask AI search feature. Select a list and ask AI about it (item titles and hierarchy are uploaded with the question). Good if you can describe an item but don't remember what it is called any more. ⢠Privacy setting for items which then are not shown until the user is locally authenticated. ⢠Share your inventory maps as images from within the app. [Connected services] ⢠Image to inventory item (AI fills in title, description, and estimated item properties like value weight, dimensions...) ⢠Barcode lookup in combination with image analysis or separately. ⢠Document import, text or text scanning from a screenshot or a document image. Converted into inventory items automatically. ⢠Single image to multiple items: e.g. quickly inventorize a full shelf of books without taking them out.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Scan Square at none against Containd's shown. Containd's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
