3d Scanner App isn't free anymore. Here's a one-time option.
For years, 3d Scanner App was the free, no-account LiDAR scanner people recommended. Since it changed hands in July 2025, exports sit behind a subscription from $2.99 a week. If you want to pay once and be done, MyMory is $4.99.
$4.99 once. No subscription, no account, no watermark.

When the other app is the better choice
If you need point clouds, LAS or STL exports, or quick LiDAR room meshes for measuring, 3d Scanner App still does more formats. MyMory is for photoreal keepsakes, built privately, paid for once.
