MetaSmile Face Scan
Read full descriptionHide full description
Face Scan is a 3D facial scanning app that uses the device's TrueDepth camera to generate high-quality 3D models. The app allows users to capture, visualize, and export 3D scans in standard formats (OBJ, MTL, PNG) for use in design, visualization, or external software. All processing is performed locally on the device. Face Scan does not collect, store, or transmit personal data or 3D scans to external servers.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: MetaSmile Face Scan at every 2 months against GradientDaze's every 5 months. GradientDaze's advantage is iOS requirement (10.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
