Operational Overview

Scan.Plus leverages cutting-edge AI technology to enhance the scanning process, ensuring high-quality scans with features like curvature correction and automatic page detection. The app's AI capabilities also include removing unwanted elements and enhancing image quality, making it a powerful tool for both individuals and businesses.

Designed for efficiency, Scan.Plus integrates with other Alohi apps, allowing users to manage their document workflows seamlessly. Users can easily sign, fax, and share documents directly from the app, streamlining their operations and improving productivity.

While Scan.Plus provides robust features, users should be aware of potential risks related to data security and privacy, especially when handling sensitive documents. The app emphasizes encryption and compliance, but users must remain vigilant about their data management practices.

Pricing Structure

Free: US$0, no time limit

Pro: iOS USD: US$2.99/week, US$4.99/month or US$29.99/year; annual display equivalent US$2.50/month. Google Play and regional prices may differ.

Alternative Consideration

Consider switching to Adobe Scan: Adobe Scan offers similar scanning capabilities with additional features for document management.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Scan.Plus create PDFs with searchable or selectable text?

No, the OCR guide says exported PDFs are image-based and do not contain a searchable or selectable text layer. Local OCR makes document contents searchable inside Scan.Plus, while Image to Text returns text you can copy or share during an active scan. If you need searchable PDF files outside the app, apply OCR with a separate tool after export.

Does Scan.Plus keep my documents on my phone when I use AI?

Documents are stored locally by default, and automatic local OCR runs on-device. AI tools temporarily upload documents for processing with in-house and third-party models, so those tools do not run entirely on-device. The product storage guide says documents are never used to train AI models. The reviewed pages do not establish a precise AI-upload retention period, named AI processors or their processing locations.

Can I use Scan.Plus Pro for unlimited OCR and AI processing?

Unlimited AI processing is not established by the reviewed documentation. Free has a limited monthly AI-credit allowance and Pro a higher allowance, but numerical quotas, per-action credit costs and additional-credit purchasing options remain unconfirmed. Check the current app allowance before relying on high-volume OCR, translation, summaries or AI Chat; automatic local OCR for in-app search is documented separately from cloud processing.

Why does Scan.Plus ask me to subscribe when I already pay for Fax.Plus or Sign.Plus?

The vendor says Scan.Plus Pro is included with paid Fax.Plus or Sign.Plus plans, using the same Alohi account. If Pro is unavailable, check that you are signed into that account and try Restore Purchases in the app settings before buying another subscription. Bundled Pro access ends if the associated product is downgraded to its free tier; unresolved entitlement problems should go to Alohi support.

Does my Scan.Plus subscription cover sending scans as faxes?

No, fax transmission uses a separate Fax.Plus allowance or credits rather than your Scan.Plus subscription. The direct workflow requires accounts for both products and both apps installed on the same device. Scan or open a document, use the sharing or sending control to select Send Fax, and check the intended pages and their order before submitting the fax.

How can I back up Scan.Plus before moving to a new phone?

Create a backup from Backup and Restore in the app settings and save the resulting .sc-bck file somewhere you can access from the replacement device. That backup includes local documents and settings, but an Android backup restores only on Android and an iOS backup only on iOS. Restoring replaces the target device's current Scan.Plus data, so preserve any existing work first. Pro cloud auto-save is a separate way to save scans to supported providers; it does not establish cross-platform restoration of the complete app backup.

How do I cancel Scan.Plus Pro, and what happens to my saved scans?

Cancel through Apple App Store or Google Play subscription settings, according to where you purchased Pro. The vendor says Pro access continues until the paid period ends, then the account returns to Free with scanned documents and the profile retained. Pro features such as cloud backup are lost, and the mentioned Free scan limit remains unquantified; this downgrade description is not a promise of indefinite account-data retention. Apple or Google handles refunds for store purchases.

Can Scan.Plus remove fingers from a document I have already saved?

Yes, the help guide documents Finger Remove for both new scans and saved documents on iOS and Android. Open the saved document, choose Edit from its menu, then use Finger Remove in the Image tab and save the result. Finger removal uses monthly AI credits, so check your allowance and review the edited page before sharing it.
