# Patchy Scan 3D vs 3D Model Importer PBR Edition

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 3D Model Importer PBR Edition at 100% against Patchy Scan 3D's 33%. 3D Model Importer PBR Edition also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). Patchy Scan 3D's advantage is rating (3.7 vs 1.7) and ads (none vs shown). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Patchy Scan 3D sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and 3D Model Importer PBR Edition sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $6.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Patchy Scan 3D holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 1.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 11 and 6 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Patchy Scan 3D's written reviews are positive against 100% of 3D Model Importer PBR Edition's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
