LiftIT
Read full descriptionHide full description
Use Kollmorgen's new LiftIT App in order to control your Lift remotely and in a personalized way. Connect directly with your Lift while you type in the given lift address or simply scan a provided QR code. Imagine that you call the lift of your apartment house in a convenient way via your smartphone when you just passed the entrance or the garage driveway. Or - you leave the office and you let the lift comes while your computer shut downs. The LiftIT App from Kollmorgen is based on a corresponding control from Kollmorgen and the user needs to be granted sufficient rights.
PlanMeasure
Read full descriptionHide full description
Turn any floor plan, blueprint, site map, or aerial photo into a precision measuring tool. Import a plan from Files, Photos, or directly from Apple Maps, set the scale with two taps on a known reference, and then measure every distance, area, and angle without leaving your iPad or iPhone. CALIBRATE ONCE, MEASURE FOREVER PlanMeasure works on any image. Drop in a PDF blueprint, a photo of a printed plan, or pull a satellite view straight from the map. Tap two points on a known reference (a door, a parking space, a property edge), enter the real-world length, and every following measurement is calibrated to the same scale. EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO MEASURE โข Ruler โ tap two points, see the distance instantly with unit-correct labels โข Polyline โ measure complex paths and chained distances point by point โข Area โ trace a polygon, get the total area with Shoelace-formula precision โข Angle โ tap three points to measure any angle, with live arc preview โข Protractor โ drop a draggable, rotatable protractor anywhere on the plan โข Apple Pencil ruler โ draw straight lines along the native iOS ruler ANNOTATE WITHOUT LEAVING THE PLAN Add lines, rectangles, ellipses, freehand sketches, and industry-standard symbols (furniture, machinery, solar arrays) directly on your plan. Organize them in layers โ show, hide, or fade individual layers as needed. The wipe-eraser carves through anything (drawings, symbols, measurements) with clean masking, not destructive deletes. BUILT FOR REAL WORK PlanMeasure is the tool architects, builders, solar installers, surveyors, landscapers, and real estate professionals use on site: โข Quick wall-to-wall checks during a survey โข Solar panel area calculations on satellite imagery โข Square footage estimates for offers and quotes โข Site distance planning for landscaping โข Furniture placement on existing floor plans EXPORT & SHARE Export your annotated plan as PDF or PNG with a clean footer showing scale, date, and project name. Send it via Mail, Files, AirDrop โ or feed it into your usual workflow. PRIVACY FIRST Your projects stay on your device by default. iCloud sync is opt-in during onboarding โ you decide whether your plans live only on this iPad/iPhone or sync between your devices via your private iCloud account. No analytics, no third-party tracking, no servers in the middle. FREE TIER Start for free with up to 3 projects.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: LiftIT at none against PlanMeasure's 1. LiftIT also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.2). PlanMeasure's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
