Polycam captures objects and spaces. MeasurePro measures rooms for the estimate.
Polycam is a popular general-purpose 3D capture app. If what you actually need is room dimensions, openings and a plan your estimator can use, a room measurement app may fit better. Here is how to decide, and what MeasurePro does.

General 3D captureApps like Polycam
- Capture objects, rooms and sites as 3D models
- Strong for visualization and sharing models
- Check current features and plans with the vendor
Room measurementMeasurePro
- Room capture with LiDAR or tap-to-capture
- Edit walls, heights, doors, windows, openings, pillars
- PDF plan, CSV quantities, JSON, USDZ
Capture, correct, export.
Capture on site
Scan with LiDAR on supported devices, tap to capture corners where LiDAR is not available, or trace linear runs for pipe and conduit.
Correct what matters
Adjust walls and heights; add or edit doors, windows, openings and pillars; enter notches and bump-outs. Undo and redo as you go.
Check in 2D and 3D
Dimensioned floor plan and 3D room, in feet and inches or metric: wall lengths and heights, openings, clearances, window heights.
Export
PDF report, CSV quantities, JSON data or a USDZ 3D model, from the saved, corrected workspace.
Four formats, four next steps.
| Format | What's in it | Use it for |
|---|---|---|
| Dimensioned plan, measurements, notes, finish references and reference photos | Scope review with the customer or office | |
| CSV | Room and element measurements (meters, m², radians) | Spreadsheets and estimating workbooks |
| JSON | Geometry, revision history, notes, finishes and embedded photos | Handing structured data to another system |
| USDZ | Corrected room geometry, openings, pillars, approximate colors | Viewing the room in 3D (no notes, photos or labels) |
Questions to ask yourself.
- Do you need a model or a measurement? A photoreal model for a client, or dimensions for an estimate.
- Will you correct the scan? Estimating needs openings and heights right.
- Where does the output go? A spreadsheet wants CSV; a client wants a PDF.
- What does it cost your team? Compare current plans on each vendor's site.
Take measurements into the estimate.
MeasurePro works on its own. When your team wants field measurements to reach takeoff review, product configuration, pricing approvals and proposals in Salesforce, RenderDraw Platform connects that workflow.
- Capture Measure and document the site in MeasurePro.
- Review Check corrected quantities, scope and evidence.
- Configure & price Apply approved products, pricing and assumptions in your configured workflow.
- Approve & propose Resolve exceptions, get approvals and prepare the quote.
Connected workflows need compatible accounts and organization setup. Platform access and commercial terms are separate from the app.

Is MeasurePro a Polycam alternative?
For room measurement, yes. MeasurePro focuses on measuring and documenting rooms for estimating and sales. Polycam is a broader 3D capture app. Choose by what you need to deliver.
What does MeasurePro cost?
See the App Store listing for current pricing. Local work needs no account.
Can MeasurePro export a 3D model?
Yes, as USDZ with corrected room geometry, openings, pillars and approximate colors. Notes, photos and dimension labels are in the PDF and JSON exports, not the USDZ.
How much does Polycam cost?
Pricing changes, so check Polycam's website for current plans.
Which iPhones and iPads does it work on?
It requires iOS or iPadOS 17.6 or later. LiDAR scanning requires supported hardware; tap-to-capture is available on supported devices without LiDAR.
