A place for every page. Turn paper documents, receipts and notes into PDFs you can find and share. Foliavo brings scanning and everyday PDF tools together in a calm, simple workspace. No account required. SCAN AND KEEP THINGS IN ORDER • Scan with your iPhone or iPad camera, or import photos and PDFs. • Refine pages with color, grayscale and black-and-white filters. • Crop, rotate and reorder scanned pages before saving. • Organize your library with folders and favorites. • Share standard PDFs without watermarks. • Restore recently deleted documents for up to 30 days. GO FURTHER WITH PRO One purchase unlocks on-device OCR, text copying and searchable PDFs. Merge PDFs, extract pages, create compressed copies, add drawn signatures, notes and highlights, and export pages as JPG images. Pro also lifts the free five-page scanning limit. Technical and device limits still apply. YOUR PAGES, ON YOUR DEVICE Scanning, image processing and text recognition happen on your device. Foliavo does not upload your documents to a developer-operated server and contains no advertising or analytics SDKs. Sharing services you choose and device backups may transfer your files separately. Apple handles purchases. Free scanning and standard PDF sharing remain available without Pro. Pro is a one-time purchase, with no subscription. The current price appears in the app through the App Store. OCR languages depend on your device and iOS version. Review recognized text for accuracy. Drawn signatures are visual annotations, not certified electronic signatures. Compression produces an image-based copy and may not make every file smaller.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DartPDF at none against Foliavo's 1. DartPDF also leads on device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
