Össur is proud to introduce SmartMeasure, a digital measuring system for custom knee braces on the iPhone. SmartMeasure is Össur’s most intuitive, efficient and accurate way to measure for any Össur custom knee brace, so you can spend more time with your patients and less time filling out forms. Intuitive – Simplicity from start to finish SmartMeasure utilizes a section-based, step-by-step approach to guide you through the entire brace selection, measuring and order process. With built-in tutorials and completion indicators for each section, every aspect was designed with the user experience in mind. Efficient – Select, measure and order SmartMeasure makes every step of the measuring and ordering process quicker. Favorites and smart fields make the data entry process faster and, once completed, the order is sent directly from your device. Accurate – Better fitting products SmartMeasure uses the iPhone gyroscopic sensor to reuce lens angle distortion on the anterior and lateral photos. This, in conjunction with a series of specific anatomical landmarks and Össur’s proprietary software, provides the precise data needed to build an intimate fitting custom brace. Nothing measures like SmartMeasure. Download the APP today.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Comb 3D Scanner at 3.5 against SmartMeasure's 3.0. Comb 3D Scanner also leads on ratings volume (19 vs 2). SmartMeasure's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 38%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Comb 3D Scanner holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Comb 3D Scanner has 19 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of SmartMeasure's written reviews are positive against 38% of Comb 3D Scanner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
