Qlone is an all-in-one 3D scanner app. We have made it easy and fast to create 3D models from real objects, edit them with built-in editing tools and seamlessly export the result to popular platforms, 3D file formats and 3D printers. You can even animate your models in Augmented Reality! A perfect tool for AR/VR content creation, 3D Printing, STEM Education, eCommerce showcase and many other uses. SCANNING If you choose to scan with the Qlone mat, simply print it from the included mat file, place your object in the middle of the mat and let the AR dome guide you through the scanning process. You can also scan the object from two different angles and it will be automatically merged for a better overall result which includes areas such as the bottom of the object. You can now also scan without a mat in two different modes - AR mode which makes it easy to scan with our familiar AR dome or Photo mode, which takes higher quality 4K images in both manual or automatic modes. When scanning with the mat, there is no waiting time, all processing is done in real time on your phone in seconds. In the new option to scan without a mat, processing is done in minutes on our blazing fast Qlone Cloud but we value your privacy so we don't store or view any of your models! MODIFYING With the integrated tools in the app you can optimize and modify your 3D model without needing to export them to other sophisticated software. Texture - Change the Brightness, Saturation and Sharpness of the 3D model. Pick colors from the scanned object and apply them by painting directly on the 3D model. Blur areas or transitions for smoother results. Clean - Fill holes in the model, erase unwanted areas such as the background surface or smooth certain parts. Sculpt - Improve or alter the shape of your object by pressing or pulling a selected area and adjust the transition. Shape - Fix the orientation, enhance the mesh details or set the scale size of your model for 3D printing. You can also simplify the mesh for lower file size export. Art - Turn your object into scaled cubes or meshed objects of art, ready to be printed. AR View + ANIMATION: You can beam your 3D models back to reality and bring them to life with automatic rigging and animation. EXPORTING and IMPORTING: Export your model directly to platforms like SketchFab, i.materialise, Lens Studio, Shapeways and CGTrader. Models can be exported in a variety of formats for use in other 3D tools – OBJ, STL, FBX, USDZ, GLB (Binary glTF) which includes animation, PLY, X3D. Share your models with friends as an image, video or GIF through Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, WhatsApp, Email and iMessage. You can import any 3D model into Qlone. Import in any 3D format (40+ formats) to view, modify or bring it to life in AR with our automatic animation! PREMIUM UPGRADE (ONE-TIME PURCHASE): Qlone is free to download and scan but exporting the 3D models, AR view with Animations and scanning in 4K resolution are premium features that require an upgrade to premium. Such upgrade is a one-time purchase fee and is not based on an annoying subscription. Also, there is a new premium feature that allows scanning without a mat! Since processing for scanning without the mat takes place on our Qlone Cloud, when you upgrade to premium you unlock this new option and receive 50 cloud credits for 50 such scans. You can later purchase more credits in highly affordable packs if needed. When you upgrade to premium, all models in your gallery and future models will be unlocked for unlimited exports in any format and it will work across all your Apple devices.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: 3D modeling at 68% against Qlone 3D Scanner's 22%. 3D modeling also leads on rating (4.6 vs 3.9) and chart position (#87 vs unranked). Qlone 3D Scanner's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and device support (6 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Qlone 3D Scanner sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and 3D modeling sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
3D modeling holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 3D modeling has 14K ratings behind it against 1.6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 22% of Qlone 3D Scanner's written reviews are positive against 68% of 3D modeling's.
Qlone 3D Scanner ships an update every 3 weeks, 3D modeling every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
