| Name | Polycam |
| Overview | Polycam is a versatile 3D scanning tool available on iOS, Android, and web platforms. It features advanced capabilities such as lidar scanning and photogrammetry, for creating 3D models, subject to device and capture-mode requirements. Free access has capture/export limits; shared team-library and collaboration features depend on the plan. Space scanning is limited to compatible iOS devices, while Android currently supports Object Mode rather than every capture mode. It caters to multiple professions, including architecture and 3D art, while also fostering a community for sharing and discovering 3D content. |

| Use cases and applications |
|
| Who uses? | Polycam is ideal for professionals across different fields seeking efficient 3D scanning and modeling solutions. |
| Pricing | Polycam retains free access with limited captures, GLTF exports and public link sharing. Current published subscriptions are in U.S. dollars:
The earlier Pro US$17.99/month or US$99.99/year listing is not a current new-account offer. Polycam says existing Legacy Pro subscribers keep their price and features while continuously subscribed. The FAQ limits seven-day trials to Basic/Business annual subscriptions, with automatic annual enrolment unless cancelled; monthly access is paid upfront. The Enterprise card and FAQ differ on trial availability, so confirm directly rather than assuming eligibility. App-store billing and renewal conditions should also be checked. |

| App available? | Yes, Polycam is available on both iOS and Android. Current device guidance limits Android to Object Mode and excludes Gaussian Splat capture; compatible iOS hardware is required for Space/LiDAR modes. Web access and mobile capture features are not identical. |
Check hardware support and required export formats before choosing a plan. Verify dimensions against suitable reference measurements before relying on a scan for professional work. Rights in your own generated models do not automatically permit reuse of other users’ models; Polycam’s terms require attribution for public display of models you generate.
