The "Room Scanner" feature informs the user the amount of space in the direction that they point the Handheld to. The "Floor Scanner" feature informs the user of any elevation in front of them through the use of spatialized clicks to denote height.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: GoVivid at every 2 days against SafeWander's every 2 months. SafeWander's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17.2). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
