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: Omniscient at 4.5 against MobileCap's 3.7. Omniscient also leads on review sentiment (92% vs 55%) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 4 months). MobileCap's advantage is ratings volume (232 vs 76) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
