LidarCad combines CAD Editor and LiDAR Scanner into one Application. With LidarCad it is easy to estimate volumes of sand or gravel, capture point clouds, measure length, area and so on. LidarCad works with DWG/DXF files. Results can be exported to other popular formats. Scan functionality available on LiDAR-enabled devices. It includes: * Estimate cut/fill volumes using base plane * Estimate cut/fill using limited boundary * Capture point clouds * Add points with XYZ(WGS) coordinates * Define CS Origin for scan * Measure length/area Full description and manuals available on page: http://cadspace.xyz/Features/ CAD editor contains tools to create Drawings. It supports connection to your bluetooth rangefinder. Measurements transmitted directly to drawing, it is possible to set exact length for selected line, or add text with transmitted value. This is a list of supported devices: * Bosch GLM50C, GLM100C, GLM120C * Bosch PLR30C, PLR40C, PLR50C * Leica DISTO D110, D1, D2 * Leica DISTO D510, D810, S910 * Leica DISTO X3, D8 * Condtrol Vector Rangefinders For devices without LiDAR sensor full functional CAD editor available.

With CadnaR.scan, you can quickly create a digital room model of your surroundings. The model can then be imported into CadnaR for further acoustical processing. Main functions at a glance: ROOM CAPTURE (LiDAR sensor required) - Augmented reality-based scanning of floor plans for iPhone and iPad*: Quickly create simplified 3D scans of rooms and entire floors, including walls, built-in wall elements, and objects in the room. - Real-time feedback: The intelligent dollhouse visualization at the bottom of the application shows the progress of the scan during room capture. This way, you can always keep track of captured objects. *Scanning rooms requires a device with a LiDAR sensor and at least iOS 16. If these requirements are not met, features such as 3D editing and sharing of imported scans are available. MANAGE SCANS - Keep track of your room scans using the clear list view. Here you can share and edit files, as well as switch to the detailed view of the selected 3D scan with a simple tap of your finger. 3D VIEW - Navigate through your room virtually in the 3D view, make changes as needed with basic editing tools, and share your planning directly from this view – without detours. SHARE/EXPORT ROOM SCANS - Share 3D scans selectively: Decide what should be exported – only the architecture or the entire scan? - The export format (.EOX) enables direct further processing in our room acoustics software CadnaR.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: CadnaR.scan at Free against LidarCad's $17.99. LidarCad's advantage is iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
