Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Voxel Camera 1 at none against 3D Scanner's 9. Voxel Camera 1 also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). 3D Scanner's advantage is device support (4 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
