3DScan turns your iPhone or iPad into a powerful 3D scanner โ for rooms, objects, and everything in between. Whether you're planning furniture, need a model for 3D printing, or want to digitize your home: 3DScan offers several capture methods, real post-processing, and export to all common 3D formats. SCAN METHODS FOR EVERY DEVICE โข LiDAR scan (room & object) โ highest precision on iPhone Pro and iPad Pro models with a LiDAR sensor โข Photo scan (photogrammetry) โ creates 3D models from multiple photos, even without LiDAR โข SloMo video scan โ simply circle the object with the slow-motion camera, no LiDAR needed โข Room detection โ automatically detects walls, windows, and doors and displays them in color For devices without LiDAR, the built-in QR marker calibration makes sure your models are still scaled to their real size. POST-PROCESSING RIGHT IN THE APP โข Find holes in the model, review them in a list sorted by size, and close them selectively โ an arrow shows you the exact position in the 3D model โข Red pen to remove unwanted areas โข Selectively hide colors from the scan (e.g. background or tabletop) โข Axis system, wireframe view, statistics, and adjustable lighting in the integrated 3D viewer EXPORT IN ALL COMMON FORMATS Free: STL, OBJ, and USDZ โ ready for 3D printing, AR preview, or further processing in CAD programs. Optional one-time purchase: STEP and PLY for professional CAD workflows. FOR SMART HOME USERS Scan a room and then mark the position of your devices directly in the 3D model โ ideal for a true 3D floor plan in your Home Assistant dashboard. MULTILINGUAL & CROSS-PLATFORM 3DScan is available in German, English, Spanish, French, and Arabic and runs on iPhone/iPad as well as on the Mac (photogrammetry). 3DScan is free to use. Individual extra features (e.g. STEP/PLY export or more than 3 ignored colors per object) are available as a one-time purchase per object โ no subscription, no obligation.

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