Verdict
The clearest difference is price: vSite Scan at Free against LidarCad's $17.99. vSite Scan also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). LidarCad's advantage is chart position (#199 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.1). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
