If you run a gym, studio, med spa, plastics practice, wellness clinic, or GLP-1 program, a 3D body scanner price is a 12-month plan or a purchase. ShapeScale publishes both. The 12-month plan is $199/mo only when billed annually ($2,388/year). Monthly billing is $299/mo. Purchase is $9,990 plus shipping. US shipping is a $199 flat delivery and setup fee.

This page is the clinic bill. Hobby handhelds and figurine booths are out of scope. Styku, InBody, and Fit3D keep their own pages. Updated 2 Oct 2026 (PT).

What a clinic pays for ShapeScale

There is one 12-month plan with two ways to pay, and there is a purchase. Both plan options are a 12-month commitment. The term is the same. Only the bill changes. $199/mo is not the monthly price.

Billed annually, the 12-month plan is $199/mo, which is $2,388 paid up front for the year. That includes the device, software and updates, cloud storage, servicing for the term, and 100 monthly active users (MAUs).

Monthly billing on that same 12-month plan is $299/mo. Stay on monthly billing for the year and the total is $3,588. Same device, same servicing, same 100 MAUs.

Purchase is $9,990 plus shipping. Purchase includes 250 MAUs and a two-year limited warranty. There is no monthly plan bill on the purchase path. US shipping is a $199 flat delivery and setup fee on both the plan and the purchase. That fee is on pricing (checked 2 Oct 2026).

A monthly active user is a unique person who completes at least one scan in a billing month. Repeat scans by that person in the same month still count as one MAU. The pricing page gives a first-time scan a 7-day grace before it counts. There is no unlimited-scan product. Capacity above the included MAUs is a sales conversation, not a per-scan meter on this page.

The 45-day evaluation starts on delivery

The 45-day evaluation starts the day the device is delivered, not the day you order. It is an evaluation with costs, not a free month. The 12-month commitment on a plan also starts at delivery, and the plan renews for another 12 months unless you cancel before renewal.

Refund math lives on pricing. This article does not restate a second formula. Ask on the demo if you need the return numbers in writing before you order.

Plan or purchase

Take the 12-month plan if you want a lower cash outlay, servicing for the term, and a path to send the unit back at the end of the term. Purchase if you expect to keep the device, you want 250 MAUs included, and you do not want a monthly plan bill.

A clinic still proving demand in the room usually takes the plan. A gym or studio that already knows it will scan the same book of members for years often purchases. You can convert a plan to a purchase. Credits and the remaining balance are a sales quote. This page does not invent that number. Purchase financing runs through third-party lenders. We do not publish an APR here.

What else belongs in the budget

The person stands still on a 2-foot base. Plan on about 5 feet of clearance so the sensor can move, and an 8-foot ceiling. A standard outlet and Wi-Fi are enough. There is no radiation room and no Windows workstation in the ShapeScale install.

The first scan uses a QR code from the iOS app, on iPhone or iPad. Later scans can start from face and body recognition. Android is not available. The scan itself is about 35 seconds.

What you show in the room is a photoreal 3D body, circumferences, regional volumes, a volume heatmap, composition, and a PDF of one scan or a two-scan compare. Circumferences that ship: neck, shoulders, chest, biceps, waist, hips, thighs, calves. Volumes: arms (one combined arm volume), torso, legs. Height is typed in. ShapeScale has no posture score. It does not measure skin quality.

Composition in the March 2026 white paper (n=1,000+ adults versus GE Lunar iDXA): body fat mean absolute error (MAE, the average size of a miss) 1.89 percentage points, R² 0.91. Lean mass MAE 3.3 lb (1.49 kg), R² 0.98. Appendicular lean mass (ALM, lean tissue in the arms and legs) MAE 2.1 lb (0.97 kg), R² 0.96. Those figures are the abstract. This page does not use the Results lean-mass figure from that paper.

What other vendors publish

A clinic list price goes on this page only when a vendor page states it. If the page you can open has no dollar, the price stays not publicly available, with the link. This article does not fill the blank.

Styku hardware list price is not publicly available (as of 2 Oct 2026). The scanner page is specs and a sales contact, not a price: styku.com/body-scanner. Styku is a turntable infrared scanner that needs a Windows PC. The head-to-head stays on ShapeScale vs Styku.

InBody 770 lists at $23,705 on the InBody USA shop (checked 2 Oct 2026): InBody 770. That figure is the analyzer plus a USB drive, a $300 LookinBody web credit, tissues, posters, and a 1-year warranty. InBody is bioelectrical impedance (BIA), not a 3D scanner. This page does not state a list price for any other InBody model. Method detail stays on InBody scan accuracy.

Fit3D SNAP software is $83/month, or $499 for 6 months, on Fit3D's SNAP page (checked 2 Oct 2026). The same page also says "as low as $83/month." SNAP is tablet photogrammetry: the member turns in front of an Android tablet. It is not a depth scanner, and it is not this product. Fit3D ProScanner hardware list price is not publicly available (as of 2 Oct 2026). The SNAP page does not list one. The Fit3D review is here.

A GE Lunar iDXA is a different capital class: a dedicated room, an X-ray, and an operator. A public list price is not publicly available (as of 2 Oct 2026) on the Lunar iDXA product page. Use a table when bone density or a research reference is the product you bill. Do not price a 3D scanner as if it were that table.

A handheld object scanner is not a clinic composition tool. This page does not rank Creality, Revopoint, EinScan, figurine booths, or fashion capture SDKs.

How clinics usually cover the plan

The scanner is a consult tool. Gyms and studios fold scans into training packages. Med spas, plastics practices, and GLP-1 or weight-loss clinics fold them into a treatment plan. Some sell a standalone assessment. This page does not publish a per-scan menu or an ROI percent. Map your own fee against the plan on pricing.

If the consult has to show a treated waist, flank, or thigh, price the tool that can show that area in inches and volume. A BIA number that moved because the person was dry does not show the treated region. Scanner classes are on body composition scanner types. Evolt, another BIA column, stays on Evolt 360.

FAQ

How much does a ShapeScale cost?

The 12-month plan is $199/mo billed annually ($2,388/year) or $299/mo on monthly billing. Purchase is $9,990 plus shipping. US shipping is a $199 flat delivery and setup fee. Both options are on pricing (checked 2 Oct 2026).

Is $199/mo the monthly price?

No. $199/mo exists only when the 12-month plan is billed annually, $2,388 up front. Monthly billing on that same plan is $299/mo. The term is 12 months either way.

What is included with the plan versus the purchase?

The 12-month plan includes the device, software and updates, cloud storage, servicing for the term, and 100 MAUs. Purchase includes the device, 250 MAUs, no monthly plan bill, and a two-year limited warranty. A first-time scan has a 7-day grace before it counts as an MAU. There is no unlimited-scan product.

When does the 45-day evaluation start?

On delivery day, not the order date. Charges apply during the evaluation. The refund formula is the one on the pricing page. This article does not invent a different number.

Do you sell unlimited scans?

No. The 12-month plan includes 100 MAUs. Purchase includes 250 MAUs. An MAU is a unique person who scanned at least once that month. Repeat scans by the same person in that month do not add another MAU.

How much does a Styku, InBody, or Fit3D cost?

Styku hardware list price is not publicly available (as of 2 Oct 2026). InBody 770 lists at $23,705 on the InBody USA shop that day. Fit3D SNAP software is $83/month, or $499 for 6 months. Fit3D ProScanner hardware list price is not publicly available (as of 2 Oct 2026). This page is not a compare hub.

Is a cheap handheld 3D scanner enough for a clinic?

No. Object scanners and figurine booths do not run a clinic composition consult. They are not on this bill. A gym or studio buying a member-facing scanner is buying a different product than a desk-side handheld.

Does ShapeScale replace DEXA?

No. DEXA remains the bone and research reference. ShapeScale is the room tool: a photoreal 3D body plus composition trained on GE Lunar iDXA. Keep a table if you bill bone density. ShapeScale does not measure skin quality, and it has no posture score.
