Transform your iPhone or iPad into a powerful architectural scanner. RoomVector leverages advanced LiDAR and RoomPlan technology to capture accurate 3D models, floor plans, and measurements in seconds perfect for contractors, interior designers, realtors, and homeowners. Key Features: Dual Scanning Modes: LiDAR Mesh: Capture detailed, textured 3D meshes of objects, furniture, or entire rooms. RoomPlan: Automatically generate clean, architectural 2D and 3D floor plans that recognize walls, windows, doors, and furniture. Professional Reporting: Generate comprehensive PDF reports instantly. Customize reports with 2D floor plan maps, 3D model snapshots, room dimensions, and your own project notes. Immersive Preview: Explore your scans with an interactive 3D viewer. Switch between Orbit and Immersive modes to fly through your captures using intuitive gesture controls. AR Measurement Tool: Quickly measure distances and calculate areas in real-time using the dedicated AR ruler, no scanning required. Export and Share: Export your data in standard industry formats including USDZ, OBJ, and PNG. Share models and reports directly via AirDrop, Messages, or Email. Privacy First: RoomVector processes everything on-device. Your scans and data never leave your phone unless you choose to export them. Requirements: Requires an iPhone or iPad with a LiDAR scanner (iPhone 12 Pro or newer Pro models, or iPad Pro 2020 and newer).
OpenShape3D

openshape3d is a direct-modeling CAD app built for touch. Sketch a profile, pull it into a solid, and keep cutting, blending and patterning until the part is done ā no desktop, no subscription server, no file conversion dance. Geometry is computed by OpenCASCADE, the same open-source B-rep kernel used in professional CAD. Extrudes, primitives and booleans produce exact analytic surfaces, so a cylinder stays a true cylinder instead of a faceted approximation. SKETCHING ⢠Sketch on a world plane, on any flat body face, or on an offset construction plane pulled off a face ⢠Line, rectangle, circle, arc, ellipse, polygon and text-as-outline tools ⢠Endpoint, midpoint, centre, vertex and grid snapping ā draw with Apple Pencil ⢠Trim, move/rotate gizmo, construction geometry, and reusable symbols ⢠A full 2D constraint solver: coincident, parallel, perpendicular, tangent, equal, concentric, symmetric and more ⢠Driving dimensions with inline arithmetic (type 25.4/2) pull geometry to value ⢠The sketch tells you where it stands ā fully defined, or how many degrees of freedom remain SOLIDS ⢠Extrude a profile, or push and pull a face directly with automatic booleans: pull to add material, push to cut ⢠Revolve, sweep along a chained path, loft through sections, and helix ⢠Fillet and chamfer edges with live preview and drag-to-size ⢠Shell a body hollow, with optional open faces ⢠Union, subtract and intersect between bodies, computed off the main thread ⢠Split a body with a plane or a sketch profile ⢠Linear and circular patterns with ghost previews ⢠Move, scale, rotate, mirror, translate point-to-point and align VIEWING ⢠Orientation cube, six standard views, isometric and orthographic toggle ⢠One finger orbits, two pan, pinch zooms ā the camera never locks up ⢠Section view that clips live against a plane, with a drag arrow and flip ⢠Shaded, shaded without edges, wireframe with proper hidden-line removal, and X-ray ⢠Marquee select with window/crossing semantics, and Select Through to reach a body buried behind others ⢠Isolate to hide everything but the selection MATERIALS AND REFERENCE ⢠Material presets ā steel, aluminium, brass, plastics, rubber, wood ā plus custom colour with metallic and roughness ⢠Drop PNG or JPEG reference images onto any plane and trace over them MEASURE ⢠Face area, body volume and bounding box on selection ⢠Two-point distance with X, Y and Z deltas over snap points IMPORT AND EXPORT ⢠Import STL and DXF ⢠Export STL, OBJ, 3MF, GLB, USDZ and sketch DXF ⢠Preview your model in AR with Quick Look

Verdict
The clearest difference is iOS requirement: OpenShape3D at 17.0 against RoomVector's 26.1. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
