The app has to hold scale across the whole room, not between two tapped points.<\/p>\n<p>LiDAR measures distance directly. Photogrammetry infers scale from overlapping frames, so the same room can come back short in poor light.<\/p>\n<p>The test is cheap. Tape one room you know, scan it, and trust the tool whose square footage matches.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you scan a room with an iPhone in one pass<\/h3>\n<p>A contractor scan happens once, often with the homeowner watching. If the app cannot capture the room in one continuous walk, you will not do it twice.<\/p>\n<h3>Does the 3D room scanning output land in a real deliverable<\/h3>\n<p>The model has to leave the phone as something someone else can use. That means a dimensioned floor plan, a point cloud, an OBJ or USDZ file, or a field report.<\/p>\n<p>A shareable link and nothing else is a demo.<\/p>\n<h3>Does the scan turn into a priced bid<\/h3>\n<p>This is where most of these apps stop. The measurement is an input to a number. Most tools leave you to carry it into a second app.<\/p>\n<p>SimplyWise Cost Estimator prices the scan, with materials from the closest Home Depot to your registered zip.<\/p>\n<h2>How a scan becomes a bid on a 14 by 16 room<\/h2>\n<ol class=\"pm__steps\">\n<li>\n<h3>Scan the room in one walk<\/h3>\n<p>Walk the bedroom with LiDAR on an iPhone Pro, or take a photo. You get 224 square feet of floor.<\/p>\n<p>The capture takes minutes, before you open a tape.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Measure the walls<\/h3>\n<p>A 60 foot perimeter at an 8 foot ceiling is 480 square feet of wall. Minus one door and two windows, 429 is left to paint.<\/p>\n<p>The door takes about 21 square feet and each window about 15. That is 51 square feet of openings.<\/p>\n<p>The ceiling adds another 224 square feet.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Price the labor<\/h3>\n<p>Call it six and a half hours for one painter. At the BLS painter median of $23.75 an hour, labor is $154.38.<\/p>\n<p>Two coats on 429 square feet of wall is 858 square feet of coverage. Add one coat on the 224 square foot ceiling.<\/p>\n<p>That crew assumption is the line to argue with, not the wage. At the BLS mean of $26.64 an hour, the same labor is $173.16.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Add materials and markup, then send it<\/h3>\n<p>SimplyWise prices materials from the closest Home Depot to your registered zip. Add markup and send.<\/p>\n<p>Paint and sundries cover 858 square feet of wall and 224 of ceiling, at your label&#8217;s stated coverage.

Every price comes from the vendor&#8217;s pricing page or App Store listing, linked in Sources.<\/p>\n<h3>1. SimplyWise Cost Estimator<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Best for<\/strong> contractors who want the scan back as a number.<\/p>\n<p>It prices the capture, with materials from the closest Home Depot to your zip. Scan with LiDAR on an iPhone Pro, or turn a photo into an itemized estimate in about 6 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>Edit the lines, then send a branded quote the client signs. <strong>Pricing:<\/strong> $29.99 a month or $239.99 a year, with a 7-day free trial.<\/p>\n<p>That is about $20 a month on annual. Estimates adjust for regional cost differences, and every line carries a material quantity.<\/p>\n<p>One subscription opens every app in the SimplyWise suite.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:18px 0 6px;\"><a class=\"pm__btn\" href=\"https:\/\/swcostestimator.app.link\/ce-ai\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Try SimplyWise Cost Estimator, free<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>2. magicplan<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Best for<\/strong> a dimensioned floor plan and a field report. Its estimates price from lists you build yourself. <strong>Pricing:<\/strong> Sketch is $12.99 for one month.<\/p>\n<p>You mark corners with the camera, or with LiDAR on supported devices. The plan carries room areas, wall lengths, and a field report an adjuster can read.<\/p>\n<p>It runs on iOS and Android. Your price lists have to exist before a plan becomes a bid.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Polycam<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Best for<\/strong> a detailed 3D model or point cloud. But it is a capture tool, not an estimator. <strong>Pricing:<\/strong> Free tier; Basic is $150 a year.<\/p>\n<p>LiDAR on a recent iPhone Pro or iPad Pro gives fast geometry. On phones with no depth sensor, photogrammetry stitches ordinary photos into a model.<\/p>\n<p>The output is a mesh or point cloud. The bid still gets built somewhere else.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Apple RoomPlan<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Best for<\/strong> native capture on an iPhone Pro. <strong>Pricing:<\/strong> Free inside iOS.<\/p>\n<p>RoomPlan is Apple&#8217;s own room scanning framework. It combines LiDAR with the camera to build a parametric floor plan in one walk.<\/p>\n<p>Walls come back as labeled objects. It also runs inside RoomScan Pro LiDAR, and it carries no estimate.<\/p>\n<h3>5. CubiCasa<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Best for<\/strong> a drawn floor plan from one walk-through video. <strong>Pricing:<\/strong> The first 2D plan is free; package rates were not published.<\/p>\n<p>You make one scan of the space with the phone. A scaled floor plan with square footage comes back, usually inside a day.<\/p>\n<p>The output is a plan and an area figure. It is not a 3D model and not a bid.<\/p>\n<h3>6. Scaniverse<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Best for<\/strong> free 3D capture. <strong>Pricing:<\/strong> Free, with no in-app purchases.<\/p>\n<p>It captures with LiDAR on a Pro device, or with photogrammetry on other phones. Processing happens on the phone.<\/p>\n<p>It documents conditions rather than bidding them.<\/p>\n<h3>7. RoomScan Pro LiDAR<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Best for<\/strong> fast floor plans for a solo contractor. <strong>Pricing:<\/strong> Free download; the LiDAR subscription is $9.99 a month.<\/p>\n<p>Locometric makes RoomScan. The Pro LiDAR version builds a 2D floor plan and a 3D capture on a Pro device.<\/p>\n<p>The output is a plan and measurements, not a priced estimate.<\/p>\n<h3>8. KIRI Engine<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Best for<\/strong> models a designer will open somewhere else. Exports OBJ, FBX, and USDZ. <strong>Pricing:<\/strong> KIRI Pro is $17.99 a month.<\/p>\n<p>It captures with photogrammetry, LiDAR, and a featureless mode for glossy or blank surfaces.<\/p>\n<p>Files open in Blender with no conversion step. It runs on iOS and Android.<\/p>\n<h3>9. SiteScape<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Best for<\/strong> as-built point clouds headed to Revit or AutoCAD. iPhone Pro and iPad Pro only. <strong>Pricing:<\/strong> SiteScape Pro is $49.99.<\/p>\n<p>FARO Technologies makes SiteScape. It captures a dense point cloud of existing conditions for a drafter to model against.<\/p>\n<p>It documents. Pricing is not part of it.<\/p>\n<h3>10. Matterport<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Best for<\/strong> a walkable 3D tour of a whole property. <strong>Pricing:<\/strong> The app is free; plan rates were not published.<\/p>\n<p>It captures with a 360 camera or a phone. The captures become a 3D tour a client opens from a shared link.<\/p>\n<p>It is built for documentation, not fast on-site bidding.<\/p>\n<h3>11. Hover<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Best for<\/strong> exterior takeoffs from ground photos, with no ladder. <strong>Pricing:<\/strong> Exterior jobs from $59 a project on Starter.<\/p>\n<p>Shoot a guided set of ground photos and Hover returns an exterior model. It carries measurements for siding, roofing, and windows.<\/p>\n<p>Interiors now measure from the phone camera too. It does not build the bid.<\/p>\n<h3>12. AR Ruler App and CamToPlan<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Best for<\/strong> one quick measurement. Good for one wall, not a whole bid. <strong>Pricing:<\/strong> Free with ads; AR Ruler unlocks at $19.99 a month.<\/p>\n<p>AR Ruler App comes from Grymala and reads lengths, areas, and angles through the camera. CamToPlan comes from Tasmanic and also sketches a rough floor plan.<\/p>\n<p>Treat the reading as a check, not a bid-grade measure-up.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pm__promo\">\n<h2>Scan a room with an iPhone, then price what you measured<\/h2>\n<p>SimplyWise Cost Estimator scans the room with LiDAR on a Pro iPhone.
