# AR Code Object Capture 3D Scan vs Magnific

The clearest difference is monetization model: Magnific at free with in-app purchases against AR Code Object Capture 3D Scan's subscription. Magnific also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AR Code Object Capture 3D Scan sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $34.99 per month and Magnific sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $11.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Magnific holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1K and 1.8K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 31% of AR Code Object Capture 3D Scan's written reviews are positive against 28% of Magnific's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

AR Code Object Capture 3D Scan ships an update every 6 weeks, Magnific weekly. Both last shipped on September 27, 2026.
