FACEMOTION3D captures facial expressions and head movements with the camera on your iPhone or iPad, helping you create animations for 3D characters. On devices that support ARKit face tracking, such as iPhone X, you can use Apple ARKit for high-precision facial tracking. Devices without ARKit face tracking support can also track facial movements using Google MediaPipe and the front camera. Connect to DAZ Studio, Maya, Unity, Unreal Engine, or Blender in real time to bring your expressions and movements to 3D characters on your PC. FACEMOTION3D also works with many PC applications that support VRM avatars, letting you control your character's expressions and head movements in real time. Transfer motion recorded in the app to compatible PC software and apply it as animation, or export it in FBX format. You can also import VRM models and animate your characters within the app. To connect to PC software, install the appropriate receiver plugin, script, or add-on, or configure the connection settings in that software. When connecting over a network, make sure your iPhone or iPad and PC are on the same network. For detailed instructions and information about compatible software, visit the official website: https://www.facemotion3d.net/ Face tracking is processed on your device and requires permission to access the camera. Information captured by the camera is used for face tracking, the in-app display, recording and export, and sending motion data to the connected PC. When you use the recording or saving features, data such as captured motion, recorded audio, videos of the camera feed, and screen recordings are saved on your device.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: FACEMOTION3D at 3.3 against HypeRate's 2.7. FACEMOTION3D also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and iOS requirement (13.2 vs 16.0). HypeRate's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (52% vs 36%). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FACEMOTION3D sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and HypeRate sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

FACEMOTION3D holds the better App Store score, 3.3 against 2.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 35 and 25 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of FACEMOTION3D's written reviews are positive against 52% of HypeRate's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

FACEMOTION3D ships an update every 2 months, HypeRate every 10 days. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
