KIRI Engine is a 3D scanning app from Hong Kong-registered developer KIRI Innovation turning smartphone captures into textured 3D models.
KIRI Engine differentiates on scan modes competitors gate behind paid plans: NeRF-based featureless-object scanning handles shiny, transparent, and low-texture subjects, and its mesh-inclusive Gaussian Splatting exports splat captures as production meshes.
The product pairs quad-mesh retopology and AI PBR material generation with million-polygon output, unlimited free exports on the free tier, and a cross-platform surface spanning iOS, Android, web, and a pay-per-use API, with free plugins carrying scans into Blender, Unreal Engine, and After Effects.

KIRI Engine competes in consumer 3D scanning against apps with larger install bases and mobile-scan-first workflows, including Polycam, Scaniverse, and RealityScan, whose capture-to-edit loops run faster on-device than KIRI's cloud processing.
Cloud processing adds queue time to KIRI's scans, its LiDAR mode stays iOS-only, heavy Pro features sit behind a subscription while close rivals bundle similar capabilities differently, and its brand reach trails bigger platform players, leaving app-store discovery and pricing pressure as ongoing headwinds.

KIRI Engine holds a free Basic tier covering unlimited photogrammetry and LiDAR scans, in-app editing tools, and unlimited free exports, with photo caps at 150 photos or 2 GB per scan.
The Pro plan unlocks featureless-object scanning, mesh-inclusive Gaussian Splatting, PBR materials, quad mesh, auto-rigging, 500-photo or 5 GB captures, and faster queue processing at USD 6.66 per month billed yearly (USD 79.99 per year) or USD 17.99 per month on the monthly plan; the API bills pay-per-use at roughly USD 1 per scan action with a 500-credit minimum.
