Why teams move from ScanWriter to PDFSub - and how to switch in under an hour.
ScanWriter only converts bank statements. When you also need to merge, redact, e-sign, or OCR a PDF, you're back to juggling subscriptions. PDFSub bundles 84+ PDF tools alongside bank statement conversion in the same plan.
Pure BSC tools typically support a few thousand banks and struggle with international formats. PDFSub's parser handles 20,000+ banks in 130+ languages, with native QIF, QBO, OFX, QFX, Excel, and CSV exports.
Standalone bank-statement tools often price per page or per statement - costs balloon when you process a backlog. PDFSub's All-In-One plan is $25/user/mo annual and includes 500 bank statement pages every month, with stackable add-on packs for higher volume.
Bank statements are only one document type. PDFSub's AI engine also extracts invoices, receipts, and financial reports - same subscription, same workflow. Tools focused only on ScanWriter-style statements leave the rest in spreadsheets.
Capterra reviewers (4.4/5 from 12 reviewers) note the software was 'very hard to use' for accounting firms, slow document reads, and data corruption issues with the QuickBooks integration.

Export directly to QuickBooks (QBO), Quicken (QIF), Mint (OFX/QFX), Excel, CSV, JSON, and TSV. Native QFX support is rare among competitors.
The same engine that parses statements also handles invoices, receipts, and financial reports. One tool covers the entire bookkeeping ingest layer.
84+ tools - merge, redact, e-sign, OCR, compress - so you finish the workflow without a second subscription.

Most users complete the move in under an hour. Here's the path:
Most BSC tools - including ScanWriter - have a CSV or Excel export for stored results. Grab a backup if you've kept history in the tool.
Sign up at pdfsub.com/pricing. Full access to the All-In-One plan during the 7-day trial.
Upload one of your real statements (or use the free 3-page preview). Tier 1 coordinate extraction runs first - usually returns results in 30-60 seconds. Compare accuracy against your existing output.
Once you've confirmed accuracy and your accounting app accepts the export, drop the previous subscription. PDFSub now handles both BSC and the rest of your PDF workflow.
PDFSub parses 20,000+ banks across the US, Canada, UK, EU, APAC, LATAM, and AME - including credit unions, online-only banks, and international institutions. Test your specific bank free using the 3-page preview before subscribing.
The parser auto-detects 40+ currencies and 9 date formats including European DD/MM/YYYY and CJK formats. Statements in Spanish, German, Chinese, Arabic, Hindi, and 125+ other languages work out of the box.
QIF, QBO, OFX, QFX, XLSX (Excel), CSV, JSON, and TSV. That's every major accounting-app import format, plus structured options for custom workflows.
PDFSub's Tier 1 (free, coordinate-based) handles clean digital PDFs at parity with most tools. For scanned or complex statements, Tier 2 OCR + AI and Tier 3 vision extraction fall through automatically. Run side-by-side on your real statements during the trial.
Full access to the All-In-One plan at $25/user/mo (annual) - every PDF tool, 500 AI credits, and 500 bank statement pages per user. Cancel anytime in one click.
