I need recommendation for a "good" scanner for my iPhone. I don't mind if for free or paid. I have played with some free scanner apps. Here are what I need to consider:

1. Free or Paid app.
2. One time payment (Not monthly or yearly).
3. Export to PDF and JPG.
4. No log-in to use the app.
5. No advertisement.
6. Would like something that can save my scans in a preferred location, and grouped in organized folders.
7. Ability to scan long receipts.
8. Ability to scan a book page.
9. Ability to name the receipt to an organized folder.

Thanks
 
Scannable from Evernote works great for me. You can toggle the file type between JPG and PDF. It's free. When you've taken the scan you can then tap "Send" and "Share" and save it to wherever you like in your files.
 
Much as they're obvious - Adobe Scan is pretty good and you get plenty of free storage for your needs.
 
I have used Scanbot for years. It automatically uploads to my iCloud Drive too.

I would also take a look at iOS ability to scan to Apple notes - I think that’s PDF by default too. The scanner algorithm is not as good with Apple’s solution in my experience though.
 
Dropbox, with its Scan Document feature, has everything you're asking for except for the no login part.
 
I’ve used ScannerPro for ages works really well integrated with Dropbox.

The one included on the default Files app. It’s simple (so you don’t have advanced features) but I use it a lot and it’s really good

Seconded on Office Lens. It's free, and consistent in performance and quality.
