Outcrop vs Outcrop360
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Outcrop
This app aids geologists in field studies by allowing them to capture high-resolution images of outcrops. Users can interpret geological features, add annotations, take measurements, and export data to construct 3D geological models.
- High-resolution outcrop imaging
- Interpretation of facies, structures, and boundaries
- Annotation and measurement tools
- Dip and azimuth measurement
- GPS location integration
- 3D geological model export (GOCAD format)

This application is designed for the geologist to use during field studies. It lets the user take pictures of the outcrop, interpret the high resolution image and export this information in 3D to construct a 3D geological model. On the image, the user can interpret facies intervals, sedimentary structures and boundaries. The user can add annotations anywhere, measure width/height of sediment bodies (channels, lobes, etc.), and compute bodies statistics. Using an iphone or ipad, the user can measure dip and azimuth and locate this measure on the picture or use its GPS location to export dip markers to the 3D model. Once the user defines the image scale, all interpreted boundaries and intervals can be exported in 3D in GOCAD format (image, interpretations boundaries, dip/azimuth and facies intervals).

Outcrop360: Master the Field Outcrop360 is the definitive field platform that turns your iPhone into a complete technical workstation. Work with tools built for extreme precision, even in the most remote conditions and without an internet connection. Arriving on iOS with a premium experience! Built 100% natively in SwiftUI, Outcrop360 offers a modern, fluid interface with a stunning Liquid Glass design. Enjoy exceptional performance that maximizes your device's capabilities, featuring a global redesign across our core tools (Map, Logs, Scales, and Compass) to boost your productivity. Everything you need, unified in a single app: 1. WORKSPACES & PROJECTS - Workspaces: Organize multiple projects in dedicated environments (personal or team) with automatic cloud sync. - Roles & Access: Invite colleagues by email, assign roles, and control permissions with precision. - Local & Cloud Projects: Work offline and sync when you're back in range. 2. ADVANCED GIS, 3D MAPS & TRACKS - Offline & 3D Navigation: Download maps for offline use, switch between digital elevation models (2D/3D), and navigate smoothly. - GPS Track Recording: Record your routes in the background to document your path uninterrupted. - Design & Measurement Tools: Draw waypoints, lines, and polygons. Calculate distances and areas in real time. - Topographic Profiles & Export: Build elevation profiles exportable to CSV, image, PDF, or DXF. Share KMZ data and generate map captures in PDF or image with a UTM grid and legend. - Real-Time Crew: Share your location temporarily and monitor your team moving on the map. 3. PRECISION TOOLS SUITE Utilities: - Digital Field Notebook: Create modular notes with text, tables, and images, and export reports to PDF or editable HTML. - Stamped Technical Camera: Capture photos and videos with critical data printed via EXIF and on-screen: UTM coordinates, elevation, date, compass bearing, and notes. - Scales: A physical ruler calibrated to your screen, a scale bar, and a photo scale card exportable at 300 dpi. - Universal Converter: Convert coordinates and over 40 physical units. Measurement: - Logs (Striplogs): Create interval-based records with smart tables, gap and overlap warnings, categories, and color palettes. - AR Angle Meter: Measure angles in augmented reality by adjusting physical vertices. Spatial Orientation: - Compass & Stereonets: Measure Azimuth and Dip with Wulff, Schmidt, density contour, and rosette visualizations, and export structural reports to PDF. 4. FIELD LABS — SPECIALIZED MODULES - MineLog (Drilling): Manage the full cycle of a drilling campaign: planning, daily drilling report (DDR), survey, core boxes, logging, and QAQC sampling. 5. OUTCROP AI — INTELLIGENT TECHNICAL ASSISTANT - "Today in Outcrop AI": Every day, discover a newly recommended technical article on geosciences and engineering. - Natural-Language Technical Queries: Get precise answers for field challenges. - Writing Assistant: Improve your field notes and log descriptions. 6. RESOURCE LIBRARY & COMMUNITY - Weekly Featured Content: Explore the best resources of the week, plus complete petrological and mineralogical data sheets. - Achievement System: Document findings, earn badges, and climb the global and weekly rankings. Who is Outcrop360 for? Built for technical efficiency: Geoscience and Engineering professionals (Civil, Mining, Petroleum, Environmental, Surveying), Hydrogeology, Archaeology, and/or explorers who need precision where others only see a map. Outcrop360 unifies the engineer's work, the scientist's rigor, and the explorer's passion. Download it and master the field!

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Outcrop at none against Outcrop360's 5. Outcrop also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 26.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
