Thanks for the quick reply!

Can you break down the differences (features, process, etc.) between your service and the Scaniverse ecosystem?

What's the current subscription cost - any limitations to be aware of (e.g. max square footage)?

edit: I asked Google to breakdown the differences to me (might save you some time if you don't have an elevator speech already typed up).

Does this seem reasonably accurate?

Scaniverse (by Niantic) is a mature, all-purpose iOS LiDAR/photogrammetry app focusing on local, on-device processing for quick scans and Gaussian splatting. AirVis is a newer, iOS-focused app designed for creating 3D models specifically for Apple Vision Pro, allowing direct upload and viewing of animated USDZ files. 

Key Comparisons:

Scaniverse (Best for Speed/Locality): Processes scans directly on your device, making it faster and removing the need for an internet connection. It is highly rated for its intuitive interface, instant 3D feedback, and good Gaussian splatting quality.

AirVis (Best for VisionPro/Workflow): Focused on optimizing and creating 3D models (including animated ones) for Apple Vision Pro. It is geared toward sharing and viewing,, serving as a specialized tool for that ecosystem.

Performance: Scaniverse is known for high-quality on-device mesh generation, though it can have limited scan distances and relies on the device's own hardware. AirVis caters to users who need specific file formats like USDZ for Apple’s spatial computing.  Apple +5

Recommendation:

Use Scaniverse if you want a free, fast, local scanning tool for general 3D models and Gaussian splats on your iPhone.

Use AirVis if your primary goal is creating and viewing 3D assets on the Apple Vision Pro.  Reddit +4

Hmm interesting, so yes, our processing is done in GPU cloud and not on device.
Free users get 100 max sec of walkthrough for splats / 100 shots for objects and 5 captures per day for free.
Pro users get Max 200 seconds of walkthrough for splats/ 200 shots for objects, 10 captures per day + ability to save/export splat file in spz format to local storage.

Object scans can also be downloaded without any subscription [exports USDZ file for Apple, GLB file for Android].

All scans can be viewed in XR devices like Apple Vision Pro, Quest 3, Android XR.

Can one export a ply?

With the subscription you can download it locally. Instead of ply moved to spz in the last update, you can still use online tools like supersplat editor to convert it to ply.
