Redaction that actually removes the words. Most tools draw a black box over text that is still in the file. Copy and paste from the "redacted" PDF and the name is right there. StripPii removes the text itself - what comes out has nothing underneath the black. Nothing leaves your device. Ever. StripPii makes no network requests at all. It holds no network permission. There are no servers, no accounts, no analytics, no crash reporting. Your bank statements, medical letters and passport scans are read on your device and stay there - not as a policy, but because the app is technically incapable of doing otherwise. Finds what matters, in any language. Names, addresses, emails, phone numbers, dates of birth, passport and licence numbers, national IDs, card and account numbers, medical record numbers - and faces in photos, covered automatically. An on-device machine-learning model reads names and addresses that have no fixed shape to match, in any of the languages it was trained on. Exact patterns handle the things that do - the ones with checksums, like an IBAN or a National Insurance number. Each catches what the other cannot. On devices with Apple Intelligence, an extra on-device pass runs alongside. Also local. Also free. Detection is the same whether you pay or not. Every PII type. The AI. The lot. We are not going to find less of your personal data because you have not paid us. You decide before anything is redacted. Review every detection, with a label saying how it was found. Deselect anything that shouldn't go. Black out anything the app missed by hand. StripPii remembers what you confirmed, so the next document is faster. Free • PDF, text and images • Every PII type, on-device AI, automatic face detection • Manual redaction, review before redacting • One file at a time, watermarked export Pro - one-time purchase, no subscription • Clean export, no watermark • Whole folders at once - files, folders and ZIP archives • DOCX and multi-image documents • Strip hidden metadata: PDF properties, DOCX authors, tracked changes and comments • Remove EXIF - GPS location, device model, camera settings • Password-protected PDFs stay protected on the way out • Search & Mask, custom keywords and rules • Blur and frosted-glass redaction • Scan and redact with the camera (iPhone and iPad) One purchase covers iPhone, iPad and Mac.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: StripPii at none against SYSMonitor's shown. StripPii also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months) and review sentiment (50% vs 40%). SYSMonitor's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
