Shapely 3D is a fast, native 3D modeling app built for iPad — sketch, sculpt, and export real 3D models with just your finger or Apple Pencil. Build scenes from simple primitives, then move, rotate, and scale them with an on-screen gizmo. Snap to a configurable grid, measure distances as you work, and use the orientation cube to jump straight to any view. Shapely 3D saves your work as a native document you can open again anytime, right where you left off. Before you print, tap View in Room to see the model on your desk at its actual size, through the camera, or export a USDZ for Quick Look and any USD tool. Apple Pencil Pro's squeeze switches sketch modes mid-drawing and hover shows where the next shape will land. Every project is in Spotlight, Siri and Shortcuts. Shapely 3D Pro unlocks: • CSG boolean operations — union, subtract, and intersect shapes to build more complex forms • STL export — send your models straight to a 3D printer or another CAD tool • Sketch & Extrude — draw a 2D profile and pull it into a solid • Smoothing — round any object with adjustable, non-destructive subdivision • Cut tool — slice objects apart along a face or a drawn line • Edit Faces — move, extrude, and reshape the individual faces of any object, and give any face a color of its own • Repair — find the holes, stray faces, and inside-out faces a slicer would trip on, see them in red, and fix them before you export Whether you're prototyping a part, teaching geometry, or just enjoy building things in 3D, Shapely 3D keeps the fundamentals simple and gets out of your way.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Shapely 3D at 100% against Remeshy's 38%. Remeshy's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 2.0) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Remeshy sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Shapely 3D sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Remeshy holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Remeshy has 157 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of Remeshy's written reviews are positive against 100% of Shapely 3D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Remeshy ships an update fortnightly, Shapely 3D every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
