I've switched to SwiftScan with automatic upload to Dropbox. It does decent-ish OCR on documents so that you more or less can select text in scanned PDFs. I rarely search inside scanned docs, most of the search is by filename which I manually set a couple of times a week. For file search VoidTools Everything is great.

Any other recommendation for an iOS scanner app that doesn't want me to subscribe to a mailing list and doesn't ask for monthly payment?

Free or one time payment only.

Apples built in Notes app does pretty well these days.

I'm on Android, sorry.

SwiftScan has a one time payment option AFAIK, that's the one I used.

No, I installed it and saw they offer a subscription. There is no one off payment, they offer a yearly VIP package for £35.99.

Huh. I've checked by purchase history on the Play Store and there's a 2016 May charge for SwiftScan Plus, no active subscriptions. I've got the iOS version on the iPad, fully unlocked, also no subscriptions.

I guess they eliminated the one-time purchase option. Bastards. No way I'd pay £36 for this yearly. Netflix doesn't cost that much more!

I’ve used and liked Genius Scan for a long time. Roughly six or seven years.

iOS notes!! hit the camera button from a note, scan multiple pages, turns it into a PDF

If you’re looking for discovery scope out Memos. Been using it for years, happy customer. It indexes all images, I snap menus and receipts and search is instant plus everything is on device.
