Instead of buying an expensive and cumbersome motion capture suit, or tediously animating by hand, record 3D animations with nothing more than your iOS device! Powered by ARKit, MobileCap allows for full body 14-point tracking in real time from your device's camera. Once you've completed a capture, make refinements with a comprehensive set of export options, preview your adjustments in the app, and then export the capture as an FBX animation file that can be used in all common 3D modeling programs and game engines, or as a CSV spreadsheet full of rotation data. Use a LiDAR enabled device such as the iPhone 12 Pro or iPad Pro 2020 or later for more accurate tracking. Note: Body tracking functionality requires an A12 Bionic processor. This is limited to the iPhone Xs and Xs Max, iPhone XR, iPad mini 5th generation, iPad Air 3rd generation, iPad Pro (2018), and any newer devices. However, all other app functionality can be evaluated on other devices.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MobileCap at 3.7 against MoCáp's 3.2. MobileCap also leads on ratings volume (204 vs 22) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.6). MoCáp's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MobileCap sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and MoCáp sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
MobileCap holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MobileCap has 204 ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 55% and 54% positive.
MobileCap ships an update every 4 months, MoCáp every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and August 8, 2026 respectively.
