Radar: The Radar apps work based on pressing Start when the pitcher throw the pitch and Stop when the catcher catches it. The more precise you are at pressing the Start and Stop buttons, the more accurate the resulting speed will be. Each time you track a pitch through the radar, it will add to the pitchers pitch count. Pitch Counters: Each time you press Pitch, it adds to the pitch count. When you reach the Warning total (in Settings), the button will turn yellow and the phone will vibrate. When you reach the maximum total, the button turns red and continues to vibrate. The opposing pitcher pitch count, simply keeps track of the opposing pitchers pitch count. Tracking the speed of the pitches in the Radar module, will add to your pitcher and the opposing pitchers pitch counts.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: VeloBeam at 4.6 against Baseball Tools's 3.0. VeloBeam also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and ratings volume (32 vs 3). Baseball Tools's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 16.4). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
