Krynth vs Polycam

Krynth is a web application that turns photos or video into cloud-rendered 3D scenes and textured meshes, while also processing existing Gaussian splat scans. Its browser viewer opens splat files and creates shareable viewer links. Accepted inputs include.ply,.splat,.spz, and.ksplat files from PostShot, Polycam, Luma, or another pipeline. Listed exports are.ply,.glb, and.obj; FBX is marked as coming soon. Krynth can produce textured mesh output for Unity, Unreal, or Three.js without a local GPU. Users can define camera paths and export MP4 cinematic videos in 4K and ProRes at 30 or 60 fps. Named destinations include Unity, Unreal Engine, Roblox, Blender, Three.js, Apple AR Quick Look, and WebXR. Plans include a free tier, monthly subscriptions, and one-time scans. Paid subscriptions start at $24.00 per month. Scans are private by default and original.ply files can be downloaded for self-hosting.

Polycam is AI reality capture software for professionals who document, measure and design. It uses AI-assisted photogrammetry and LiDAR to capture spaces, construction sites, facilities, products and materials in 3D, and it can create shareable 3D object models. Users can generate customizable 2D floor plans; paid plans also list instant 3D and editable 2D floor plans. Drone footage can be processed into expansive 3D models. Polycam is available on Android, iOS and web browsers, though Space Mode scanning is limited to compatible iOS devices. Listed exports include GLTF, OBJ, FBX, DAE, STL, USDZ, point cloud formats and DXF; named workflows include Blender, Unity, SketchUp and Xactimate. Free access has limited space, object and AI captures, with GLTF exports and public link sharing. Basic costs $150 a year, equivalent to $12.50 per month when billed yearly. Seven-day trials are offered with annual Basic and Business plans, but not monthly plans or Enterprise. Business is listed at $400 a year and Enterprise at $1,200 a year.
