ScaleTap vs Drawboard on iPad
Drawboard is a broader PDF workspace. ScaleTap is narrower by design: calibrated measurements, quick markup, and clean exports for teams that care most about fast plan review in the field.
Check current Drawboard features and pricing before making a purchase decision.
ScaleTap keeps the workflow narrow on purpose: calibrate, measure, mark up, export.
Where ScaleTap focuses

| Linear measurements + calibration | Core flow in v1 | Check current iPad implementation |
| Minimal markup + presets | Intentionally limited set | Broader annotation environment |
| Flattened PDF + measurement CSV export | Built-in handoff path | Check current export formats |
| Goal | Fast field measurement + handoff | Broader PDF review and annotation |
Choose Drawboard if your team needs a broader PDF workspace. Choose ScaleTap if the main job is calibrate, measure, mark up, and send proof with as little friction as possible.
