Capture a room in 3D with your Structure Sensor. Capturing a 3D model of an entire room is now delightfully easy. Simply tap 'Start', and slowly pan around your room, and a model is built in realtime as you watch. When you've finished, the model can be explored with natural touch gestures. Models are scale-accurate. You can use a measuring tool to measure distance between any two points. This app requires the Structure Sensor accessory for iPad.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: RealityScan Mobile at 3.8 against Room Capture's 1.8. RealityScan Mobile also leads on ratings volume (342 vs 5) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). Room Capture's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (40% vs 32%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
RealityScan Mobile holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RealityScan Mobile has 342 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Room Capture's written reviews are positive against 32% of RealityScan Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Room Capture ships an update every 4 months, RealityScan Mobile every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
