Best for
  • 3D artists and modelers
  • Architects and AEC professionals
  • AR and game developers
  • Developers building voice agents
  • Real-time interactive applications
  • Teams needing agent orchestration
Pros
  • Supports LiDAR, photogrammetry, and Gaussian splatting
  • Exports to 15-plus formats for pro pipelines
  • Automatic floor plans with measurements
  • Runs on iOS, Android, and web with cloud processing
  • Team sharing and collaboration
  • Real-time, low-latency runtime
  • Full voice stack (TTS, STT, speech-to-speech)
  • LLM Router and agent orchestration
  • Engine plugins for Unreal and Unity
  • Well funded and technically mature
Cons
  • Best LiDAR quality needs supported Apple devices
  • Free tier restricts exports mostly to GLTF
  • Capture quality depends on lighting and technique
  • Professional use quickly requires a paid plan
  • Large scans can be processing- and storage-heavy
  • Pivoted away from turnkey game-NPC focus
  • More infrastructure-oriented, steeper learning curve
  • Usage-based costs can be hard to predict at scale
  • Less plug-and-play for game developers now
  • Requires developer integration work
