HowTall
Read full descriptionHide full description
HowTall measures a person's height in real time using your iPhone Pro's camera and LiDAR scanner. Point the rear camera at someone, and HowTall instantly projects their head and feet onto the floor plane to read their height โ no tape measure, no markers, no setup. Everything runs on-device using ARKit body-pose tracking and the LiDAR depth sensor. No images or measurements ever leave your phone. FEATURES โข Real-time, smoothed height readout โข LiDAR-accurate (uses the depth sensor, not camera estimation) โข Save measurements locally with an optional snapshot โข Share an annotated image via the iOS share sheet โข Fully on-device โ no accounts, analytics, or servers โข Imperial and metric units REQUIREMENTS HowTall requires an iPhone with a LiDAR scanner: iPhone 12 Pro, 13 Pro, 14 Pro, 15 Pro, 16 Pro (or any newer Pro / Pro Max). iOS 17 or later. PRIVACY HowTall does not collect any data. The camera and LiDAR feed is processed in memory and discarded โ no images, depth maps, or measurements are transmitted off the device.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: AgeGate Pro at every 3 weeks against HowTall's every 4 months. AgeGate Pro also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
