Our verdict on ScanFlow
ScanFlow is a mobile document-scanning and PDF-management app for iPhone, iPad, and Android users. It captures documents with automatic edge detection and perspective correction, combines multiple pages into one PDF, and exports scans as PDFs or images. Folders, tags, notes, and smart classification support organization, while OCR text extraction enables full-text search. Offline scanning and processing make it suitable for users who need to capture documents without relying on an active connection.
The pricing structure is straightforward. The Free plan costs $0 per month and includes document scanning, folders and tags, basic organization, unlimited scans, and local storage. Pro costs $29.99 per year with annual billing and adds no watermark, sharing and export, cloud backup, OCR recognition, document signing, and document merging. The $69.99 Lifetime option includes everything in Pro through a one-time payment, with no subscription and free updates forever. A 7-day free trial is also available.
ScanFlow fits users who want a broad set of scanning and PDF tools in one mobile app, particularly when offline processing and cloud backup matter. Its cloud options cover iCloud Drive, Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive, while PDF features include annotation, signing, password protection, merging, and page management. The Free plan is a practical choice for local, unlimited scanning, but users who need OCR, cloud backup, sharing, or advanced PDF workflows should choose Pro or Lifetime. Those seeking only basic capture may not need the paid tiers.
