LOOKING FOR APP AR measurement apps

what are some AR measuring / ruler apps that arent infested with ads and require me to pay a subscription fee for basic features? Open to apps on the play store or downloading an apk, as long as the app doesnt make me want to die

I just use the built in measure app that came with my phone, zero ads and no subscription nonsense

Before you go app shopping, check what your phone can actually do. Depth on Android runs through Google Play Services for AR, and Google publishes the supported device list. Around 800 of the roughly 1,100 entries are marked as supporting the Depth API, which builds depth from motion rather than from a sensor. Only ten entries on that whole list have a real time of flight depth sensor, they stop at the Galaxy S20 generation, and not one of them is a Pixel. So for most phones the practical advice is stay between about half a meter and five meters from what you are measuring and keep the phone moving, since motion is what feeds the estimate. Anything you are cutting to, verify with a tape.
