Which to choose
Imaging bureaus with TIFF-only backlogs get real value from Tiff Teller's DPI and compression reports, which FileTally doesn't provide, and from its command line. TIFF and PDF Counter runs on a Mac today, which FileTally doesn't yet. But productions, closing files and records transfers mix PDFs with Word drafts, Excel schedules, slide decks and saved email. A TIFF and PDF counter leaves those out of the total. FileTally counts all of them in the same scan and lists anything it couldn't count before you export.
Use Tiff Teller when
- Folders are TIFF and PDF only.
- You need DPI, compression or color-depth reports.
- You want command-line scheduled reports.
Use FileTally when
- Folders are mixed: Office files, images, email and TIFFs together.
- You want counted, estimated and excluded files told apart in every scan.
- You want the lower price: $24.99 versus $49.90.
