No paywall hiding the export button, no watermark on your files, no account to create, no subscription ā ever.

EVERYTHING INCLUDED, UNLIMITED ⢠Scan with automatic edge detection and perspective correction ⢠Import photos from your library ⢠Manual 4-corner crop with magnifier, and rotation ⢠Enhancement modes with live preview: color, grayscale, black & white ⢠Multi-page documents: reorder, delete, add pages anytime ⢠On-device OCR (English + French): your PDFs are searchable and their text can be copied ⢠Smart name suggestions based on the document's content ⢠Organize with folders, search, sort, grid or list view ⢠Share, print, export as JPEG, or protect a PDF with a password ⢠Lock the app with Face ID ⢠Scan straight from Siri or Spotlight PRIVATE BY DESIGN Scanling makes no network connections. Your documents are stored on your device only, visible in the Files app, and OCR runs locally with Apple's Vision framework. No analytics, no tracker, no third-party SDK. The App Store privacy label says "Data Not Collected" because there is nothing to collect.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: scanAll at none against Scanling's 1. Scanling's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
