iTwin Capture

Subscription Administer Construction

Reality modeling software for photogrammetry and reality capture that democratizes infrastructure documentation. Transforms photography, lidar point clouds, and sensor data into engineering-ready 3D reality meshes, orthophotos, and classified point clouds for digital twins. Cloud-based processing with desktop and mobile capture apps.

Made by Bentley Systems, public (BSY, $10.1B)

3.6 /5 composite score

Cloud-based reality capture and photogrammetry with transparent annual pricing ($4,000-$5,000/yr via Virtuosity) and integration with iTwin Platform for digital twin workflows. No free tier limits accessibility for occasional documentation; positioned for teams running systematic capture programs.

Also covers

iTwin Capture also appears in these sub-categories:

Reality Capture

Vendor-agnostic point cloud processing (LAS/LAZ/OPC/POD formats) with cloud orthophoto and DEM generation, Gaussian splat export, and iModel ingestion. Strong for reality mesh generation but requires subscription commitment; no per-project pricing option.
