FloorLens

FloorLens is a LiDAR room-scanning app for turning spaces into measured plans, 3D models and browser tours. It suits property professionals and people planning renovations who have a compatible Apple device. Its broad sharing and export options make it a flexible planning tool, but it is not a survey instrument and it cannot serve Android users.

Overview

FloorLens brings scanning, editing and presentation into one workflow. It automatically measures walls, room areas, ceiling heights and objects, and lets users refine walls and objects before sharing or exporting. Recipients can open a shared scan in a browser and switch between dollhouse, floor-plan and first-person photo views without installing an app or creating a viewer account. That makes it useful for communicating a space to clients, tenants or collaborators who do not use the app.

Plans can be aligned to magnetic north, and models show sun position and shadows for the scan location. Country profiles include area standards such as ANSI Z765, Gross Internal Area, RMS, WoFlV and SIA 416. These options add context to planning, but the measurements remain scan estimates rather than surveys; anyone needing survey-grade records should look elsewhere.

Key features

Exports cover measured PDFs, JPG, PNG and SVG views, GLB, USDZ and OBJ models, and MP4 fly-through videos. The range suits both simple document sharing and workflows that need a 3D model or visual walkthrough. Web links and QR codes make sharing direct, while Premium adds iCloud sync between devices.

Scanning, plans and measurements run on the device. Scans go to the cloud only when users choose to share them; an account is optional, and shared scans can be deleted from the cloud through the app. That is a meaningful privacy advantage for people handling property scans they do not want uploaded by default.

Pricing

The Free plan costs nothing and includes one web scan, link and QR sharing that auto-deletes after 14 days, basic scans without texture, and PDF, image, 3D model and MP4 exports. It is a useful way to try the core capture and export workflow, but the single scan and short-lived link limit ongoing sharing.

Premium costs $6.99 a month, billed or $2.99/week, or $39.99/year. It raises the allowance to three web scans at a time, extends links to 90 days and adds textured walls and 3D, iCloud sync and branded PDFs. It is the practical step up for individual users who need better-presented models or longer-lived shared scans.

Professional costs $19.99 a month, billed or $149.99/year, and allows up to 30 web scans with 180-day links, including Premium features. That higher capacity suits property teams or frequent client-facing work. Enterprise has custom pricing with usage-based billing; it includes Professional features, more cloud scan exports per month and priority support, making it the team-oriented option when those needs justify a custom plan.

A free trial is available. The entry's maximum projects figure is 3, so users planning a larger project library should confirm that this cap fits their workflow before relying on the app.

Platforms

FloorLens runs on iOS, macOS and the web, but capture requires iOS 26 and a LiDAR-capable iPhone 12 Pro or later or iPad Pro. There is no Android version. The device requirement is a substantial barrier for otherwise interested users, and the web platform does not remove the need for supported Apple hardware to scan.

Who it's for

Real-estate agents and landlords can use browser tours to share spaces without asking viewers to install software. Architects, interior designers and renovators may value editable plans, object and room measurements, area profiles and multiple model exports for early planning. People preparing a move or renovation also get a way to document and communicate room layouts. In all these cases, the app is best for estimates and presentation, not work requiring formal surveyed measurements.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Browser tours offer three viewing modes without requiring a viewer app or account, which lowers friction when sharing with clients or tenants.
• Pros: Exports span documents, image views, 3D formats and fly-through video, giving users several ways to hand off a scan.
• Pros: On-device scanning and optional cloud sharing keep scans local unless the user chooses to share them.
• Cons: LiDAR capture requires a recent supported iPhone or iPad Pro and iOS 26, excluding Android users and older Apple devices.
• Cons: Results are scan estimates, not surveys, so the app is unsuitable where formal surveyed accuracy is required.
• Cons: The Free plan's one web scan and 14-day links are restrictive for repeat or durable sharing; more capacity requires a paid plan.

Verdict

FloorLens is a strong choice for property and renovation work when a supported LiDAR Apple device is already part of the workflow. Its combination of editable measurements, browser tours, broad exports and privacy-conscious local capture makes it especially useful for planning and sharing. Choose another tool if you need Android capture, or if estimates cannot replace formal survey measurements.
