KIRI Engine vs MetaScan

KIRI Engine is a 3D scanning application that creates models and visualizations using photogrammetry, Neural Surface Reconstruction, and 3D Gaussian Splatting. Photo Scan creates 3D models from photos. LiDAR Scan supports model scans, floor plans, and quick scene visualizations on LiDAR-equipped iOS devices, while Featureless Object Scan is designed for shiny, reflective, transparent, and low-texture objects. The free Basic plan costs nothing and permits up to 150 photos and 2 GB per scan, with unlimited scans and free exports. Pro costs $17.99 a month or $79.99 a year, and raises the limits to 500 photos and 5 GB per scan while adding faster queue processing and advanced scanning and modeling features. The API offers Photo Scan, Featureless Scan, and 3DGS Scan; each API call uses one credit. Credits cost 1.00 USD each, with a 500-credit minimum recharge and 10 free test credits at sign-up. Other listed tools include a website model embedder, a UE5 plug-in, and STL export. Uploaded photos and videos are processed on cloud servers, and local PC scanning is not on the company's roadmap at the moment.

MetaScan creates 3D models of people and objects through a mobile app or an event scanning service. Its app offers object, full-body and head-and-shoulders capture using photogrammetry on modern iPhone or Android cameras, without requiring LiDAR. Scans can be viewed in augmented reality and exported as GLB, USDZ or OBJ; MetaScan also says they can be auto-rigged and animated for use in its multiplayer game In The Real World. Browser-based converters support GLB, OBJ, STL, glTF, PLY, FBX and USDZ, processing files on the user's device without uploading them. Event services include a scanning station, portrait studio and 360 spin video booth for occasions such as weddings, team days and corporate events. The free plan allows up to five scans in a library and one HD reconstruction per month. Pro costs $9.99 a month, Studio costs $29.99 a month, and an HD credit costs 4.99 USD once. MetaScan says person scans require consent and source images for standard scans are deleted automatically about two hours after model generation. It offers support by phone, text, email or website message.
