Hidden Pricing
3.0 /5 composite score
C1 2/5 reflects contact-sales SaaS pricing model (RF1). C2 3/5 reflects REST APIs (3DM Cloud, OGC services) and SDK availability rather than public headless CLI. C3 2/5 reflects vendor-led SaaS implementation. C4 4/5 reflects point-cloud workflows (E57, LAS, PLY, PTS, XYZ) and raster export (GeoTIFF, orthomosaics). C5 4/5 reflects ArcGIS, AutoCAD, QGIS, MicroStation, GeoCortex integrations and broad geospatial ecosystem positioning. Bentley Systems subsidiary (acquired Oct 2019) but maintains distinct product positioning for geospatial/infrastructure workflows beyond AEC.

Alternatives in Reality Capture
Photogrammetry and LiDAR-fusion software converting photos and laser scans into textured meshes, point clouds, and orthophotos; rebranded from RealityCapture to RealityScan in 2025 under Epic Games.
4.6/5
Open-source de-facto standard drone photogrammetry stack (ODM/WebODM); generates point clouds, orthomosaics, DEMs, and 3D models from drone imagery with no licensing restrictions.
4.6/5
Free, open-source (GPL) desktop application for processing, comparing, registering, and analyzing 3D point clouds and meshes, with mature CLI/headless batch mode and two independent Python scripting layers.
4.4/5
Mobile app and API platform that converts a smartphone scan/video of a space into 2D/3D floor plans, with outputs exportable as CAD files compatible with Revit, AutoCAD, Archicad, SketchUp, and BricsCAD; also offers an Integrate API, a Conversion API, and a Mobile SDK for embedding scan-to-floorplan capability into other products.
