Pick PaperScan if…

PaperScan suits Windows users who need scanning, OCR, and document cleanup or annotation tools. It may also fit users who need to save scans to SharePoint or handle encrypted PDFs and digital signatures.

Pick XSane if…

XSane may suit users seeking scanner controls, color management, and standalone scan utilities, or those who want to use it as a GIMP plug-in. Its temporarily offline status and package guidance are important to check before relying on it.
