Take a quick body photo every day and watch your progress turn into a smooth timelapse video. FormLapse auto-aligns position, tilt and scale, so you don't need to line up a ghost overlay or use a tripod. Casual shots are fine. Your photos never leave your iPhone: no network connection, no account. Weight loss, cutting, bulking, getting in shape: changes you can't see in the mirror day to day become obvious when weeks and months of progress pics play back to back.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Metell at none against FormLapse's 3. Metell also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 18.0). FormLapse's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
