Short answer
Filing taxes means gathering receipts, invoices and statements, and the sensible way is to scan each to a crisp PDF with the edges straightened and OCR so amounts and dates become searchable text. ScanTo Pro does this fully on-device, so financial documents never leave your iPhone unless you choose to export them — unlike scanners that require a cloud account or paid unlock to remove watermarks. Batch several pages into one PDF per category, then export to Files or email for your filing. It's pay-once with no subscription and no account.
Try ScanTo Pro on a real example first, and check the current App Store listing for exact features and pricing before you decide.

Quick comparison
| Need | What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Check whether useful features require a subscription, a one-time unlock, or neither. | The cheapest app on day one may not be cheapest after a year. |
| Privacy model | Prefer on-device work when the content is sensitive. | Private documents, resumes, study data, and family content deserve careful handling. |
| Export / lock-in | Confirm file formats, sharing, backup, and deletion controls. | A good app should help you finish the task, not trap your work. |
