EVERYTHING FOR YOU In the past, patients had to visit clinics equipped with special devices for 3D simulations and, in some cases, even travel to another city or country. With 2D simulations, the process was limited to a single side-profile photo, and patients usually had to imagine the result based only on the doctor's explanation. We developed Kratos to make this process easier. Kratos allows you to create a high-resolution 3D scan of your face from wherever you are, using only your smartphone. This scan enables doctors to better analyze skin thickness, bone, and cartilage structures, allowing them to plan aesthetic procedures more accurately and personally. Through the simulation software, doctors can take proportion and ratio measurements and create a 3D design based on their expertise. This design can be revised multiple times according to the patient’s feedback. Kratos helps establish clearer and more transparent communication between doctor and patient. As you continue to choose and recommend Kratos, we keep growing and providing this advanced technology to you free of charge.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Kratos Surgery at free against Dean's App's free with in-app purchases. Kratos Surgery also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Dean's App's advantage is review sentiment (78% vs 67%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
