Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 3DApollo at 100% against 3d Scanner App™'s 46%. 3DApollo also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs freemium). 3d Scanner App™'s advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (16K vs 2). On price, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

3d Scanner App™ holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 3d Scanner App™ has 16K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of 3d Scanner App™'s written reviews are positive against 100% of 3DApollo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

3d Scanner App™ ships an update every 4 weeks, 3DApollo every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
