Our relationship with featured apps
CAD App Guide is operated by Software Development Kemper, the developer of the apps in our initial catalog. This is a developer-operated resource, not an independent review site.
All 13 apps in the first version of the catalog are developer-owned. We benefit when people discover and use our products. Featured placement is an editorial selection within that catalog; it is not an independent ranking or a claim of market-wide superiority.
How we use product information
App capabilities come from the official product pages and their linked store listings. Each app page links to the source and shows the verification date. An unconfirmed field is omitted or marked as not specified. Prices and availability are left to current store listings.
We do not claim hands-on comparative testing. We do not create review scores, ratings, testimonials, awards, or download figures. Product images are official developer or store media, not evidence of a separate testing process.
How the App Finder works
The finder first requires a match for both your project category and your selected platform. It then puts apps with a developer-confirmed experience-level match first. Other project-and-device matches remain visible, with the missing experience-level claim disclosed. Ties are sorted by app name.
Experience-level statements are developer descriptions, not usability ratings. Hardware requirements, such as LiDAR for room scanning, still apply. If the catalog has no confirmed match, the finder says so.
Comparisons and future coverage
Comparison tables use the same catalog as app pages and the finder. Import and export are separate fields. “Not specified” does not mean “not supported.” Third-party applications, when added, will be labeled separately and require their own verified sources.
Store links currently point directly to the destinations published on the developer website. Report an error through our contact page.
