This section isolates scan-related cost. Base mailbox subscription fees and mail-volume overages are intentionally excluded.

How each provider charges

Provider	Included scans	Extra scanning
Traveling Mailbox	35 / 80 / 180 pages on Basic / Extended / Small Business	$0.50 per page over plan allowance
iPostal1	No content scans bundled	$2.25/order up to 10 pages; bundles $10/5, $18/10, $30/20; extra pages $0.25
Anytime Mailbox	5 pages on current generic offer	$0.50 per additional page; local operator terms can vary
PostScan Mail	0 / 5 / 10 requests monthly; 0 / 10 / 20 annual	$2 per extra envelope up to 10 pages, then $0.25/additional page

Why this matters

A $9.99 mailbox is not automatically cheaper than a $15 mailbox when you read a lot of mail online. Scan pricing can erase the difference quickly.

This is why the main Cost Calculator treats scan pricing differently for every provider instead of forcing everyone into one per-page formula.
