However, recurring complaints center on billing, including auto-subscription charges, unexpected charges, and refunds disputes. Another major issue is that the free version now produces watermarked outputs and cannot save as PDF without a paid plan, pushing users toward a subscription. Overall sentiment highlights strong usefulness and growth in features, but monetization and billing friction detract from the user experience for many. ### Pros - Easy to use and user-friendly scanner - Very functional and versatile for documentation and scanning - Long-standing, reliable app used for years - Free version available with ads and still effective - Overall positive sentiment and satisfaction ### Cons - Auto-subscription charges and unexpected billing - Watermarks on outputs and reduced usefulness in free version - Inability to save as PDF without a paid subscription - Billing disputes / refunds issues and unrecognized charges - Perceived aggressive monetization / paid-only features ## Similar extensions and apps - [Scan Cam: Docs PDF Scanner App](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.codebaker.scancam) — 3,706 users, 5.00 / 5 - [Document Scanner - PDF Scanner](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.avensis.camscanner) — 80 users - [PDF CamScanner Pro](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.of.pdfcamscanner) — 111 users - [PDF Scanner, OCR, e-Sign, QR](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.akroapps.camscan.pdfscanner) — 387 users - [Smart CamScanner](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.futureappdevelopment.smartcamscanner) — 206 users - [Cam Scanner: PDF Maker & OCR](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.apps.edifice.camscanner.pdf.ocr) — 257 users - [Scanner All Doc](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.marzouga.camscanner) — 15,718 users - [CamScanner- Doc Scanner app](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.docscanner.camerascanner) — 791 users - [Camera Scanner - CamScanner](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.gdint2.camscanner) — 26,815 users, 3.85 / 5 - [Cam Scanner](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.appattitude.camscanner) — 87 users - [Easy Scan | Scan your Docs](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.softieons.docscanner) — 53 users - [Document Scanner PDF](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.portablescanner.pds) — 16,143 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.intsig.camscanner)
