What CamToPlan does

CamToPlan is an AR tape measure from a small independent studio. You draw lines over the camera view to measure lengths and areas, and it builds a simple plan of the room as you go. It works on iPhone, iPad and Android, and doesn't need a LiDAR phone.

Measure lengths and distances by drawing over the camera view
Area in square feet or square meters
Simple room plans with measurements
Export to PDF, PNG or DXF (Premium)
Works without a LiDAR sensor

CamToPlan sits between a quick tape measure and a full floor plan app. You walk around a room and tap along the floor and walls, and it records the lengths and adds up the area in square feet or meters. The result is a simple plan with measurements you can save in folders.

It runs on regular phones using Apple's ARKit or Google's AR support, so you don't need a LiDAR iPhone. The trade-off is that accuracy depends on good light and a floor with some texture, and the developer is upfront that results aren't guaranteed.

The free version shows ads. Premium is a subscription that removes ads, adds vertical measuring and an expert mode, and lets you edit and export plans as PDF, PNG or DXF. The App Store lists several Premium prices without saying which is weekly, monthly or yearly, so check the price in the app before you pay.
