Sd Ppp vs Polycam

Polycam is a capture platform. It converts phone LiDAR, photos, video, and drone footage into shareable 3D models, editable 2D/3D floor plans, and point clouds across four modes — Spatial, Object, Floorplan, and Drone/Aerial. Floorplan mode does auto fixture and furniture detection, editable wall thickness, room labels, compass, blueprints, and floor area calculation. Paid tiers add photogrammetry up to 2000 images and 30-minute videos, unlimited Gaussian splats, 360 photosphere capture, a 360 image viewer, and virtual walkthroughs with a shared team library on Business and above. Output flows into SketchUp, Xactimate, Unity, Unreal, Blender, Maya, 3ds Max, Rhino, and Three.js. SD-PPP is the opposite end of the workflow: it generates pixels rather than capturing geometry, firing jobs from a marquee selection, a single layer, or the full document and dropping results back onto the Photoshop canvas as editable content. It runs any existing ComfyUI workflow with no API export step, lets you rename panel controls to match node names, and connects Replicate.com and RunningHUB with your own API keys. Its model access — Nano-Banana, Flux, MidJourney, Stable Diffusion variants — comes through those backends, not from the plugin itself. The overlap is essentially zero: one measures the world, the other paints over it.

The pricing models aren't comparable enough to line up side by side. Polycam is freemium, and its own positioning is blunt about the ceiling: floor plans, point cloud exports, and automated measurements are not available on a free or Basic plan, so anyone doing real AEC or claims work is paying for a paid tier, and organizations needing SSO, regional cloud storage, or dedicated support have to step up to Enterprise. Where Business and Enterprise sit on price isn't published in the data here, so treat it as quote-based at the top end. SD-PPP itself carries no license fee — it's a free plugin, most of the code open source and modifiable, installable via the documented guide. What you actually pay for on that side is your own backend: a ComfyUI instance you run and power, or Replicate and RunningHUB billed against your own API keys, where per-generation usage adds up and the model you pick drives the cost. So the honest comparison is a subscription capture platform against a free plugin with metered inference. Neither one substitutes for the other's spend.
