DocuLockDocuLock vs Scanner Pro
Updated 15 November 2026 ยท by the DocuLock team
In short. Scanner Pro is one of the best scanner apps on iPhone, with tools like text recognition, merging, translation and an expense report add-on. DocuLock borrows its clean editing style (a full-screen page viewer and a tools grid) but is built as an encrypted vault: pages are encrypted on the phone, dates are read for reminders, and shared copies expire.
