SkateCam3D lets you take a 3D picture, interactively adjust the depth and framing (no AI necessary), crop to one of several aspect ratios, and then export the picture in a variety of formats. To use SkateCam3D: 1. Launch the app and rotate the phone to landscape view. 2. Tap Shoot Video Now. 3. Shoot a short video while "skating" (moving) the phone horizontally. 4. Preview the stereo image as an anaglyph, Dubois anaglyph, SBS pair, or SBS crossview pair. 5. Make it just right: - Adjust the depth by moving your finger up and down. - Adjust the framing by moving your finger left and right. - Zoom and pan with two fingers to get the crop you want. 6. Export the image in one or more formats. Choose from JPEG or PNG SBS (parallel or crossview), Dubois anaglyph, grayscale anaglyph, spatial photo, or wigglegram GIF.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: SkateCam3D at Free against ZipPix3D's $4.99. SkateCam3D also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). ZipPix3D's advantage is iOS requirement (16.6 vs 18.6). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
