Our five promises
Most scanner apps start free, then add ads, trial traps and paywalls. We wrote our rules down so they can't quietly change.
No ads. Ever.
Not between steps, not before you save, not in the free version.
No trials, no subscriptions
Nothing bills you after "3 free days." Pro is one purchase, once.
Lifetime means lifetime
We never take away anything you paid for, even if prices change later.
Your scans stay on your phone
The app has no internet access of its own. Files go only where you send them.
No account needed
Open it and scan. No sign-up, no email, no login.
Free means really free
If any major scanner app gives a feature away free, ScanMaven does too. No daily limits, no watermark, no "3 free tries."

Private by design
