Scanbot Barcode Scanner SDK

What Scanbot Barcode Scanner SDK is

Scanbot Barcode Scanner SDK lets developers add camera-based barcode scanning to mobile apps and websites. The SDK processes scans offline on the device, without server connections or usage tracking. The product page says scans take 0.04 seconds or less. Supported barcode formats include Code 128, QR Code, Data Matrix, PDF417, EAN, and UPC.

Developers can choose single, batch, multi, Find & Pick, or Scan & Count modes. Ready-to-Use UI components cover common scanning workflows and can be customized; teams can also build a custom interface. Integrations include Flutter, React Native, Cordova, Capacitor/Ionic, Xamarin, and .NET MAUI, alongside native and web SDKs. Platforms listed are Android, iOS, Linux, web, and Windows.

The custom annual license is listed at $2,500 a year, billed annually. Pricing generally starts at that amount for simple use cases; the quote depends on the number of apps or domains and selected functionality. The license includes unlimited scans, users, and device installations, as well as enterprise technical support, continuous updates, and feature upgrades relevant to the purchased package. Developers can request a free 7-day trial license. The Web SDK uses WebAssembly, so it requires a supported browser; listed minimums include Edge 16, Firefox 53, Chrome 57, and Safari 11.

Who it suits

This SDK suits developers adding camera-based barcode scanning to mobile apps or websites, especially when scanning needs to work offline on-device. Its scanning modes, customizable UI components, and framework integrations offer options for different app workflows. The annual license is aimed at teams whose number of apps or domains and chosen functionality can be covered by a custom quote.

Limits

The free evaluation is a trial lasting 7 days, and there is no free plan. Windows SDK evaluation requires a trial license and does not offer the one-minute trial mode available for some other SDKs. The annual license includes unlimited scans, users, and device installations; its price varies by apps or domains and selected functionality.

Getting started

1. Visit the Scanbot Barcode Scanner SDK website.
2. Request a free 7-day trial license to evaluate the SDK.
3. Choose a native, web, or supported framework integration for your app or website.
4. Select scanning modes and customize Ready-to-Use UI components, or build a custom UI.
5. Request a quote for an annual license based on apps or domains and selected functionality.

Verdict

Choose Scanbot Barcode Scanner SDK if your app or website needs camera-based scanning with offline processing, multiple scan modes, and integrations for your development framework. The annual license includes unlimited scans, users, and device installations. Look elsewhere if you need a free plan; Windows evaluation requires a trial license, and web use requires a supported browser.
