Scanner turns paper into clean PDFs with your phone camera. Point it at a page, and Scanner finds the edges, straightens the page and takes the picture when you hold still. SCAN ⢠Live edge detection outlines the page as you aim. ⢠Automatic capture when the page is found and the phone is steady, or tap to scan yourself. ⢠One page at a time, or many pages in a row. ⢠Flash and light for dim rooms. ⢠Import photos of documents you already took. NEVER LOSE A PAGE Each page is saved the moment it is taken. If a call comes in or the app closes during a long scan, the pages you took are still there. CLEAN PAGES ⢠Tilted photos come out square with perspective correction. ⢠The Clean filter removes shadows and whitens the paper. ⢠Gray and black-and-white filters for crisp text. ⢠Drag the corners to adjust a page, rotate it, or apply a filter to every page at once. EXPORT AS PDF, JPG OR TEXT ⢠PDFs with searchable, copyable text. ⢠Small, medium or original file size. ⢠Page size: same as the scan, A4 or Letter. ⢠Text recognition reads the words on your pages so you can copy or share them. ⢠Share to mail, messages and other apps, or save to Files. ORGANIZE ⢠Drag pages to reorder them, delete pages or add more. ⢠Rename documents and search by name or by the text inside. PRIVATE Scanning, cleaning and text recognition all happen on your phone. Nothing is uploaded, and no account is needed. FREE WITH ADS, OR PREMIUM Scanner is free with ads, and there are no ads on the camera screen. Scanner Premium removes all ads.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Capacity at none against Scanner's 2. Capacity also leads on ads (none vs shown). Scanner's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
