The AR Text app allows you to create and display texts in Augmented Reality. A 3D preview of your creation is visible before starting your AR modeling. Your 3D texts are fully customizable with 155 fonts and a full color palette. Each of your AR creations is stored in the app and is then easily accessible or editable. Start impressing your friends by sending them your creations in photo, video or directly in AR to immerse them with your messages! Developed in partnership with AR Code, you can within the application generate your Augmented Reality Codes for each of your creations. This code will allow you to easily share your AR creation or anchor them in places of your choice (room, showcase, product, ...). For the moment the generated 3D texts are limited to 15 characters to facilitate the 3D modeling process and limit the weight of your creations. To express your creativity without any limitation, you can also subscribe to the AR Text Premium offer for an unlimited AR modeling: AR Text Premium is a monthly recurring subscription. You will automatically be billed the amount (US$34.99) through the App Store at the end of the free trial period which is 7 days. The monthly subscription automatically renews unless it is canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. Any unused portion of the free trial period will be forfeited. You can manage your subscription in the App Store. Terms of use: https://ar-text.com/terms.html Privacy policy: https://ar-text.com/privacy.html

Turn LiDAR room captures into structured 3D scan packages with LiteReality. Capture an indoor space using Apple RoomPlan and ARKit, review the detected room, and keep the outputs you need for reconstruction and graphics workflows. LiteReality exports room geometry, RGB-D keyframes, camera poses, point clouds, and metadata — without recording a continuous video. WHAT YOU GET • Room geometry from RoomPlan, exported as USDZ • RGB-D keyframes with intrinsics, extrinsics, and tracking state • Camera poses and per-frame timing • Point cloud and scene metadata • Everything bundled as one package you can export to Files or a laptop POST-PROCESSING Scans are designed to be processed further, not just viewed. The open-source LiteReality Agent pipeline turns an exported package into a structured, usable scene for reconstruction, VR, and games: https://litereality.github.io/Litereality-agent-site/ REQUIREMENTS A LiDAR-equipped device is required — iPhone 12 Pro or any later Pro model, or a LiDAR iPad Pro. RoomPlan does not run on devices without a LiDAR scanner.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: LiteReality at none against AR Text's 1. LiteReality also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 months). AR Text's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
