Recon-3D is a scanning application that fuses photogrammetry and the lidar sensor on the iPhone/iPad Pro. The data can be processed on the cloud or in case of sensitive data, directly on the device only with no data transmitted over the internet. The app provides optional scaling via April Tags which immediately adjusts the scale of the 3D model to match real-world reference measurements. The data can be exported to other programs for inspection, analysis and visualization in e57 format.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Recon at 4.8 against MocapX's 3.2. Recon also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 47%) and ratings volume (275 vs 16). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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. MocapX sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month and Recon sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $99.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Recon holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Recon has 275 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 47% of MocapX's written reviews are positive against 75% of Recon's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
