Honest comparison
Apex Applications vs Scan Unlimited
Scan Unlimited offers a focused bulk analysis workflow and a free entry tier, and when scanning really is the only job you need, that is a sensible fit and a cheaper one. The difference is what happens to the results: Apex Green scans a supplier's catalog and then carries the profitable lines into a purchase order, a prep plan and a profit report.

Which one fits you
Choose Scan Unlimited if…
- Scanning is the only gap, and one 10,000-product file a month covers how you buy.
- You already have repricing, purchasing and accounting you are happy with.
- You want to start at no cost before paying anything.
Choose Apex if…
- The scan is the start of the job, not the end. You want the buy and the books to follow from it, with prep (Apex Red, beta) alongside.
- You would otherwise pay for a scanner, a repricer and an analytics tool separately.
- You want the profitability on screen to use your real prep and shipping costs.
