HomeScan

HomeScan turns one walk through your home into a clean, professional floor plan. Point your iPhone's LiDAR camera around and walk from room to room. HomeScan finds the rooms for you and labels them (bedroom, kitchen, bath, closets). It then draws a plan with wall lengths, doors, windows and furniture. WHAT YOU GET • A 2D floor plan with dimensions and a color for each room • Edit your plan: add or remove room boundaries • Livable square footage for each room and for the whole space • Bed-fit hints: see whether a king or queen fits each bedroom • A 3D model you can spin around, with furniture and finishes • Feet, meters or both • Export your floor plan as an image to send to a landlord, roommate, designer or mover PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account and no sign-up • No ads and no tracking • Scans are stored only on your iPhone Measurements come from Apple's RoomPlan and are typically within a few percent. That's great for planning furniture and comparing apartments, but not a substitute for a professional survey. Optional anonymous usage stats help us improve the app, and you can turn them off in Settings. Requires an iPhone with LiDAR (iPhone 12 Pro or later Pro models) running iOS 17 or later.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HomeScan at none against Mathintosh's 1. Mathintosh's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
