Check a shelf with the bubble level, measure a wall with the AR tape measure, and keep the result for your next project. MeasureLab brings 12 measuring tools together for DIY, fitting furniture and everyday jobs. LEVEL & ALIGN • Spirit level with a clear bubble display. Read angles in degrees, percent or mm/m, calibrate the zero point, hold a reading and save it. • Visual, haptic and sound feedback when level. Site mode adds a large signal you can see at a glance. • Inclinometer for slopes and angles, a plumb line for vertical alignment, and a two-axis surface check. • Laser level line over the live camera view. AR TAPE MEASURE • Place points to measure lengths, areas and perimeters. • Aim at an existing corner to continue from that exact point. Close an area by returning to its first corner. • Confirm suggested rectangles with + when a suitable outline and surface are detected, or mark a rectangle yourself. • Keep a completed area and add separate lengths from its corners. • Capture photos with measurement lines and labels. Keep measuring without leaving the camera. • Name AR measurements, add notes and revisit their dimensions and photos in History. MORE TOOLS FOR THE JOB • AR distance meter: aim at a surface to estimate the distance from the camera, with LiDAR on supported devices. • Screen ruler for small objects such as cards, screws and cables. • Trade calculator for feet-and-inch fractions, unit conversion and area calculations. • Paint, flooring and tile estimates from a measured or entered area. Account for openings, coats, product coverage and waste. • Compass with true north when location information is available, and magnetic north otherwise. • Metal detector using the magnetometer to show magnetic-field changes near magnetic metals such as iron or steel. • Sound meter for approximate dB-SPL readings. • ArchiGPT for questions about dimensions, materials and practical projects. Camera and microphone tools start when opened once the required permissions are granted. AR recovery keeps your measurement draft while checking its position after an interruption. Ad-free. No account required. Available in 28 languages. FREE & MEASURELAB PRO The screen ruler and compass are free.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: MeasureLab at none against Bubble Level's shown. MeasureLab also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Bubble Level's advantage is ratings volume (63 vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Bubble Level sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and MeasureLab sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
MeasureLab holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bubble Level has 63 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Bubble Level ships an update every 2 months, MeasureLab every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
