This mobile app lets you scan your world with LIDAR and builds a model of your real world around you. Create your own 3D model in the iPhone. Without any connection to a cloud service. Beste data security and privacy. All data and process are on your iPhone. After building the model in near real time make notes, measure lines and areas and export it to the place you want to. Share the model with or without notes and drawings. You are in the command seat. Please note the app is live in a first version and we are very keen on your feedback, comments and experiences with the app. By the way - in PRO mode you can even experience a completely new interaction possibility with your real world.

SlashScan is an iOS application for real-time estimation and mapping of forest slash-pile volumes using the built-in LiDAR sensor of iPad Pro devices. Developed through research at Oregon State University’s College of Forestry, SlashScan provides an accurate, portable, and field-ready solution for forestry operations, biomass inventory, and research applications. ■ Key Features Real-time 3D Scanning: Capture detailed point clouds of slash piles using the iPad’s LiDAR sensor. Automated Mesh Reconstruction: Generate precise 3D models optimized for irregular pile geometries. Accurate Volume Estimation: Instantly compute pile volume and export results for analysis or reporting. Integrated Mapping: GNSS tagging and satellite map view allow users to visualize and manage multiple pile locations. Offline Capability: All processing—scanning, reconstruction, and volume computation—occurs locally, enabling use in remote forest sites without internet access. ■ Applications SlashScan supports operational and research applications such as: Forest biomass and slash-pile inventory Post-harvest residue and fuel-load management Validation of UAV-LiDAR and photogrammetric surveys Educational demonstrations in forest engineering and remote sensing ■ Supported Devices SlashScan requires a LiDAR-equipped iOS device. Fully Supported Models: iPhone 12-17 Pro iPhone 12-17 Pro Max iPad Pro 13-inch (M4) iPad Pro 12.9-inch (5th & 6th Gen, M1/M2) iPad Pro 11-inch (3rd & 4th Gen, M1/M2)

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SlashScan at none against ScanYourWorld's 2. ScanYourWorld's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 months) and iOS requirement (14.5 vs 16.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
