Mariola

Mariola turns a room of your home into a true-to-scale 3D copy you can rearrange before you lift a single sofa. SCAN IN A FEW MINUTES Walk slowly around the room with your iPhone. LiDAR measures the walls, doors, windows and furniture as you go, and the camera takes the photos. A ROOM THAT LOOKS LIKE YOURS Walls and floor are painted with the photos from your scan, and every sofa, table, chair, bed and cabinet becomes a real 3D model, sized to the piece Mariola measured. REARRANGE FREELY Drag a piece to move it, twist two fingers to turn it, or take it out to see the room without it. Changed your mind? Undo, or put everything back. MEASURE EVERYTHING Wall lengths, the room's area and ceiling height, the size of every piece, and live distances to the walls while you move things. Metric or imperial. 3D VIEW AND FLOOR PLAN Look around in 3D, or switch to a 2D plan seen from above to check what fits where. SHARE AND KEEP Take a picture of the room to send or save, or share it as a 3D model: USDZ for iPhone, iPad and Mac, OBJ for 3ds Max, SketchUp and AutoCAD, glTF for Blender and the web. Group your rooms by house. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything happens on your iPhone. No account, no tracking, no ads. Your scans and photos stay on your device unless you choose to share them. Not ready to scan? Open the sample living room and try Mariola right away. To scan, you need an iPhone or iPad with LiDAR, such as the Pro series.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Mariola at none against SpotCrime+'s shown. SpotCrime+'s advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.6 vs 18.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
