"Works great (using v.1.2.1) - highly recommended"
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Versiontracker at the time of my post has version 1.2 listed, but there's been a subsequent update to 1.2.1. (changes not listed anywhere, though). Mariner bought this software from the developer but it continues to be updated. I use a Scansnap S300M scanner with my Mac Pro, running OS X 10.6.2, and all works fine. I really like the organizing features of Paperless, especially the "Smart Collections" feature which is real easy to set-up and use to filter your docs or receipts as you wish. Neat Receipts also has a "Smart" collections feature but it's lame in comparison.
Paperless is vastly better than the competition. To compare the 2 programs I had to buy Neat Receipts since they didn't offer a trial version (that's a red flag, folks). I tried it, didn't like it, asked for my money back, and the Neat Receipts never replied. They got my money and didn't care.
Getting into the habit of scanning your papers frees you from "paper-pile clutter" and eliminates the frustration of digging through real-world files to find something you really need. Just be sure to at least apply a category to everything you scan to get the full benefit of Paperless.
