Short answer
Government forms, household registration papers, ID copies and application documents are sensitive, so scanning them should never involve uploading to a scanner company's cloud. ScanTo Pro captures each page to a sharp PDF entirely on-device, straightens and cleans it, runs OCR so it's searchable, and lets you lock the file — nothing is transmitted unless you export it. Batch multi-page forms into one PDF and send it where it's needed. It's pay-once with no account, so there's no sign-up and no data trail.
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. |
