Verdict
Orbit and 3D Scanner LiDAR both sit at 3.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 75% of Orbit's written reviews are positive against 25% of 3D Scanner LiDAR's. Orbit also leads on ads (none vs shown). 3D Scanner LiDAR's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (21 vs 6). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
