Caliper

Most face apps guess from a photo. Caliper measures. Using the TrueDepth sensor — the same hardware that powers Face ID — Caliper captures 1,220 points of real 3D geometry and turns them into millimeter measurements: interpupillary distance, face width, jaw width, facial thirds, symmetry deviation and more. Every number comes with its ideal range, your percentile, and the published research behind it. MEASURED, NOT GUESSED - Real mm measurements from depth data, not pixel estimates - Repeatable to ±0.4 mm across scans - Every value cross-checked against published norms (300+ studies, 81 cited papers) - Tap any finding to read the actual research YOUR FACE MAP - Your own scanned 3D wireframe, not a stock head - Symmetry mirror mode shows exactly where left and right differ - Front, three-quarter and profile views with measurement callouts A 66-DAY PLAN THAT ADAPTS - Daily tasks built from YOUR weakest measured axes - Step-by-step guides: facial exercises, de-puff massage, posture work, skincare technique - Add concerns the scan can't see (acne, dark circles, thinning hair) — the plan retargets instantly - Honest expectations: every task says what it moves and when you'll see it SEE EVERY CHANGE - Milestone re-scans lock your progress in numbers - Change map shows where your face actually moved, in mm - Score trends, streaks, achievements and personal records MORE TOOLS - Color Analysis: your seasonal palette derived from measured skin values, not a quiz - Research Library: browse every cited paper with DOI links - Lock Screen widgets keep your streak and next task in sight - Export your scanned 3D face mesh (USDZ) AI, USED HONESTLY - AI coaching tips ride on top of the measurements — they never replace them - Future Self renders visualize where your plan is taking you, with bone structure locked: only habit-reachable changes are shown - Hairstyle Studio previews cuts on your own face, ranked by your measured face shape MEMBERSHIP Caliper is free to download. Your first TrueDepth scan, your overall score and your strongest feature, plus the first week (days 1-7) of your 66-day plan are free. Caliper Pro unlocks the rest: - Every per-feature score, the full radar face map and the complete Full Report (all 76 landmarks and 12 ratios with their millimetre values, ideal ranges and the studies behind them) - Your full 66-day plan from day 8 onward, plus the weekly Caliper Report and coach - Hairstyle Studio - try new cuts generated on your own face Caliper Pro is $59.99/year or $12.99/week. Prices may vary by region. One-time unlocks (no subscription needed): - Single Report - unlock this scan's full scores and report for $6.99 - Future Self - an AI render of your potential based on your own scan, $7.99 Payment is charged to your Apple ID. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. PRIVACY FIRST - Face geometry and depth data never leave your device - No accounts, no tracking, no ads - Delete everything any time Caliper provides cosmetic and styling feedback only — it is not medical advice, and a score is never a judgment of worth. The measurements are the product: numbers you can verify, progress you can see.

Verdict

The call

FaceGlow and Caliper are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters — price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
