Zolly is the first fully automatic dolly zoom effect for iOS in the world. Drama, dizziness, an inexplicable distortion of space… From the first second, these feelings draw attention to any video shot in Zolly. A dolly zoom (a Hitchcock shot, Trans Trav, Zolly) is an advanced camera technique based on the simultaneous movement of the camera in space and counter-zooming. Thanks to modern iPhone capabilities, Zolly precisely follows the camera movement and instantly controls the focal length, allowing you to shoot impossible shots. Choose an object amidst a deep background and start moving your phone closer or further, at any speed, and in incredible trajectories that even professional operators cannot reach. New camera angles? Audacious experiments with perspective? Unexpected angles and crazy camera flights? Whatever you want! Even simple things look exciting with Zolly!

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Zolly at Free against Spatialify's $2.99. Zolly also leads on review sentiment (88% vs 67%) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.5). Spatialify's advantage is rating (4.0 vs 2.3) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Zolly is free to download; Spatialify costs $2.99 up front. Zolly sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month. Spatialify asks for nothing beyond the download.
Spatialify holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spatialify has 63 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Zolly's written reviews are positive against 67% of Spatialify's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Zolly ships an update fortnightly, Spatialify every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
