A Cintoo Alternative for the Whole Site Record
Cintoo turns large scans into meshes that stream smoothly in a browser. SpatialSense does that too, and keeps BIM, 360° imagery, and issues in the same project.
What Cintoo does well
Cintoo's core strength is TurboMesh, a patented process that compresses large point cloud datasets into lightweight meshes, so a scan that would stall a laptop streams smoothly in a browser tab. For a team whose main job is streaming and QA/QC review on large scan meshes, that's genuinely useful engineering. Cintoo is also agnostic to most scanning and VR hardware, so switching scanner brands doesn't lock a team out of its own past data.
How SpatialSense and Cintoo compare
| Dimension | SpatialSense | Cintoo |
|---|---|---|
| Point clouds + BIM + 360° + issues in one plan | Yes, one repository | Available, but split across separate editions — BIM Edition, 360 Edition, Twin Edition |
| Works with scans from any laser scanner or capture device | Yes | Yes |
| Issue pinned to the model with an owner and a status | Yes | Public feature list shows tagging and QA/QC tools; assignee-based issue tracking with status is not listed |
| Try it with your own data before paying | No — the free tier browses sample data only; uploading your own scans starts on Starter, $99/month | Yes, 30-day free trial |
Where SpatialSense differs
Compare scans over time
Line up two scans of the same site from different dates in one view. Compare point clouds across time →
Pin issues to the model
Flag a problem on the exact point in the scan and assign it to someone. Annotate point clouds and assign issues →
Overlay against BIM
Put the as-built scan next to the design model in the same project. Verify as-built against BIM →
Open any format, no install
Point clouds, BIM, 360° imagery, and documents, all in the browser. The free browser point cloud viewer →
The honest answer: if you only need fast mesh streaming for very large scans, Cintoo is a fine choice. If you need the whole site record, point clouds, BIM, 360° imagery, and issues, in one place, start a free trial.
