Canaray Scan enables our clinics to capture photos and 3D face scans of our patients. Structure sensor is required to perform 3D face scanning. With increasing workload in mind, we have designed our App with minimum input and navigation. Simply, scan case-specific barcode available from the Canaray website, start capturing required assets, or annotate them. Once used, the specific barcode will expire and will require you to regenerate for each session.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Canaray Scan at none against 3D's 3. Canaray Scan also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.2). 3D's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
