Measure anything with CamToPlan! Horizontally and vertically! Length, distance, area of any surface… Measure everything with this virtual ruler and tape measure thanks to augmented reality. Measuring a length is now easier than with a laser meter or any other measure tool. You draw your measurement lines in 3D thanks to the camera directly on the video of your phone or tablet. You export your plans in PDF, PNG or DXF. CamToPlan is the AR measuring app that brings your measures from cam…to…plan ! For personal or professional use, always measure like a pro. Thanks to Virtual Reality (VR), you can measure floors, dimensions of walls, windows, doors or a whole home in a few seconds. No more tape measure or ruler needed! This app has infinite applications for everybody: - Personal use: the length measure app for the handyman who loves DIY ! - Real estate professionals (real estate agent, interior design decorator or designer, architect, topographer, energy adviser...): this app will help you make a floorplan of a house, apartment, a specific room of a flat. - Construction workers can use it to quickly measure jobs : concreter, tile layer, carpet fitter, painter, drywall guy, plasterer, builder, carpenter, electrician, plumber, slater... - For gardener, landscaper, swimming pool builders and maintenance, digger, earth-moving, navvy: this app also works outside - Cost estimation professionals: this length measure app can make pricing estimates, it will be a great assistant for quantity surveyor, price studies technician, economist… - Building industry: foreman, site manager or engineer can drop their tape measure and ruler to perform a quick measurement check How does this measuring app work? It relies on ARKit by Apple. Machine learning algorithms combine the device sensors data (accelerometer, gyroscope…) with odometry which analyses in real time the video of the camera and relies on visual details of images, in order to scan the environment and find the position and rotation angle of the device. Please note: - you can measure in metric (meters, centimeters) or imperial units (feet, inches) - the app measures distances horizontally (= on the ground) and vertically! - no need to remove the furniture from the room for measurements. The application determines the intersection between the floor and the target, even if it is hidden. - The application may have difficulty with some types of tiles. - The accuracy is not guaranteed. - you can move while performing measurements to get closer to your target point, for maximum precision, even if it is not visible and calculated by extrapolation.
Beam statics
Explore shear forces and bending moments on beams with various loads and support types. Instantly visualize diagrams and analyze beam flexure.
- Interactive beam loading and support setup
- Instant shear force and bending moment diagrams
- User-friendly value reading at any point
- Calculation and display of beam flexed shape
- Identification of maximum flexing points

The application offers a friendly and simple interactive environment for exploring the distribution of shear forces and bending moments on a beam beam with different externals loadings as well as support types (all combinations of clamped, free & pinned edge). It allows to introduce point loads, distributed loads and moments with magnitudes that can be edited by the user and produces instantly Shear Force (SF) and Bending Moments (BM) diagrams while allowing a user friendly interaction for reading shear and bending values values at any point along the beam. Finally it calculates and displays the beam flexed shape as well as the maximum flexing points.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: CamToPlan PRO at 74% against Beam statics's 0%. CamToPlan PRO also leads on ratings volume (12K vs 1). Beam statics's advantage is price ($3.99 vs $39.99) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement 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
CamToPlan PRO costs $39.99 and Beam statics $3.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Beam statics holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CamToPlan PRO has 12K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of CamToPlan PRO's written reviews are positive against 0% of Beam statics's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
CamToPlan PRO ships an update every 3 months, Beam statics weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and August 30, 2026 respectively.
