Record movement, analyse asymmetries and review results without sensors or extra equipment. Trusted by more than 2,000 equine veterinarians, Sleip has supported over 1.5 million analyses across more than 50 countries. Choose cloud analysis when you have a strong connection, or analyse on-device when connectivity is limited. Our app versions: Sleip Pro Vet • For equine veterinarians assessing lameness and following patients over time. Includes advanced clinical tools such as diagnostic analgesia documentation and comparison, compensatory pattern detection and flexion test analysis. Sleip Pro • For equine professionals such as trainers, professional riders, physiotherapists and farriers. Enables gait monitoring to track changes over time, supporting early referrals to veterinarians and assessment of responses to training, rehabilitation, or shoeing. Sleip Record (limited version) • For people invited to record by a Sleip Pro Vet or Sleip Pro user. Sleip Record lets you capture and submit video, with access to the analysis video and stride count. Full analysis results and advanced tools require Sleip Pro or Sleip Pro Vet. Why choose Sleip? • Scientifically validated technology: Built on decades of equine biomechanics research and validated against gold-standard motion capture systems. • Objective gait analysis: Quantify asymmetries, compare findings over time and support consistent assessment. • No sensors or extra hardware: Record with your iPhone and analyse directly in the app. • Works with limited connectivity: Get analysis data and results on-device when the connection is poor or unreliable.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: VetTrue at 100% against Sleip's 60%. VetTrue also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). Sleip's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 8 months) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
