QuickScan vs cloud document scanner apps

QuickScan is a local document scanner with no account or mandatory cloud, unlike scanner apps that upload files to their own servers.

Storage and privacy

With QuickScan, PikScan does not receive your scan content. Cloud apps often upload images to their servers for OCR, backup, or search. QuickScan stores documents, metadata, and OCR text locally.

Account and subscription

QuickScan requires no PikScan account. The app is free: 3 offline scans, then AdMob (interstitial every 4 captures, rewarded video every 3 OCR). Premium is $6.99 one-time, with no cloud subscription.

Comparable features

  • Multi-page scan (up to 20 pages) and edge correction
  • On-device OCR (ML Kit)
  • Folders and recents library
  • PDF and JPG export

When to choose QuickScan

Choose QuickScan if you want to scan sensitive documents without hosting them with a vendor, without creating an account, and if one Android or iPhone is enough to capture, organize, and share your PDFs.
