Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: PhotoCatch at 5.0 against 3D Scanner Tool's 3.6. PhotoCatch also leads on review sentiment (33% vs 20%). 3D Scanner Tool's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (32 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
