Your outcome

What this guide helps you do

Choose a plan based on the records and decisions you need—not on a crippled demo.

Key takeaways

  • Free users can calculate values, browse materials, and try a limited but real load workflow.
  • Pro adds editable yard rates, receipt OCR, unlimited history, comparisons, charts, photos, and reporting.
  • Monthly, annual, and Lifetime unlock the same current Pro feature set where offered by the store.
  • Existing lifetime purchasers keep permanent Pro access.

Free is for learning the workflow and handling smaller jobs

You can start a scrap run without Pro. The free version lets you calculate values, browse the material catalog, build up to three material lines in a load, save up to three loads, keep one yard, and try a load photo. That is enough to see how ScrapValue organizes a mixed estimate and carries it into a saved record.

The important limit is price control. Free users cannot edit the per-pound or per-kilogram rate. The displayed reference helps demonstrate the calculation, but it should not be treated as a live local offer. If you want the estimate to use the number your own yard quoted, that rate control is part of Pro.

Pro is for pricing with your quote and keeping the professional record

All current Pro plans unlock the same feature set. Choose the billing option based on how long you expect to use the tools, not because a more expensive tier hides a better version of the app.

  • Enter current yard-quoted rates and create custom materials.
  • Follow live-refreshing official metal trend charts and longer historical commodity data.
  • Scan receipt pages with on-device OCR and keep unlimited saved receipts.
  • Save unlimited load and sales history, yard profiles, quotes, photos, favorites, and notes.
  • Compare complete yard payouts and identify missing quote coverage.
  • Create advanced reports, exports, and backups, plus receive future premium features.

Monthly, annual, or Lifetime

U.S. launch pricing is $1.99 per month, $9.99 per year—about $0.83 per month—or $19.99 for a one-time Lifetime purchase. The store page in your country shows the final localized price, taxes, and the plans currently available on your platform before you approve payment.

Monthly and annual plans renew automatically until canceled in your Apple or Google account. Lifetime is a non-consumable one-time purchase. The pricing system is controlled by the storefront, so Goodale Studios can change the offer for new buyers later without taking access away from existing lifetime purchasers.

Restore and device changes

Purchases are verified by the App Store or Google Play. Use Restore Purchases while signed into the store account that bought Pro. Verified entitlements refresh on launch and are cached so the app can continue recognizing access during ordinary network interruptions.

Store purchases can sync across compatible devices using the same platform account. Apple purchases do not transfer to Google Play, and Google Play purchases do not transfer to Apple because the stores operate separate payment and entitlement systems.

Existing owners keep what they bought

Anyone who previously bought the original ScrapValue lifetime product remains grandfathered with permanent Pro access, unless the applicable store reports a refund or revocation. The 4.0 upgrade is designed to migrate compatible local records so current users do not have to trade their history for the new workspace.

ScrapValue provides planning estimates and informational market context. It is not a binding quote, appraisal, offer, forecast, safety instruction, or tax advice. Verify prices, grades, accepted materials, and rules directly with the receiving yard.
