TapScanner vs vFlat Scan

TapScanner is a document scanning and PDF service for Android, iOS, and the web. Its mobile apps capture and arrange paper documents as PDFs for sharing or export, with automatic capture, OCR, searchable output, and multipage support. The browser workspace includes 46 PDF tools for tasks such as compressing, merging, splitting, converting, editing, signing, recognizing text, and protecting files. The first eligible web task can be completed before sign-in, and the site says its web tools require no installation. The Free plan costs nothing and allows three completed tasks per day after sign-in, with up to 25 files, 100 MB, and 500 pages per task. Premium costs $39.99 per year, billed once a year, and has a 7-day trial for eligible accounts. It allows up to 100 files and 1 GB per task, with no plan page cap or daily job cap subject to fair-use protection. Premium also includes OCR, text editing, repair, compare, forms, automation, and AI tools. Web Premium does not include the separately available mobile app Premium.

vFlat Scan is a phone-based scanner for digitizing books and documents. It detects pages, crops edges and corrects perspective, and can flatten the curve of an open book, remove fingers from scans and split a two-page spread into ordered pages. Built-in OCR recognizes more than 100 languages, making text searchable, selectable and copyable. Scans can be exported as PDF, JPG or plain text, shared to other apps or backed up to cloud storage of the user's choice. The app is available on Android, iOS, macOS and Windows. Capture, edge detection, page flattening and finger removal run on the phone. Its free plan costs nothing and includes 10 pages per month each for PDF export and OCR, plus five monthly uses each of two-page mode and auto-detect. Premium prices are shown in the app; it offers weekly, monthly and annual billing, unlimited PDF export and selected scan modes, OCR up to 3,000 pages per month, and additional tools and export formats.
