I use to use Pix4DCapture but recently switched to DroneDeploy. DroneDeploy just makes things easy.
Now both of those apps are “all-in-one” deals where they have both the mission planner and the mapping/model making software and both are purpose built for that purpose.
You can plan Litchi missions for mapping but isn’t specifically for mapping so you’ll have to manually make missions in with waypoints or in the Litchi Mission hub.
I know some people like to do it with Litchi because you can really fine tune a mission but figuring out for far apart each line in your way points grid needs to be based on the altitude and how often you need to take pictures is an acquired skill.
Note that Litchi does not have a map/model making software so you’ll need to feed your photos into some other softwareto get the model made and if you choose a desktop option for this you’ll need to have a very very powerful computer. The nice thing about DroneDeploy is you just upload them to the cloud and they process everything for you. This comes with a cost of course
