Turn your phone into a pop-time radar. POPTime measures catcher pop time, exchange time, and throwing velocity straight from your own video — no showcase, no radar gun, no extra gear. Shoot from the bleachers, tap two frames, and get the numbers coaches and scouts actually look at. HOW IT WORKS 1. Record or import a clip of the play. 2. Tap the frame of the catch and the frame the ball reaches the bag. 3. POPTime calculates pop time, exchange, and velocity instantly. 4. Export the clip with clean on-video overlays to share. BUILT FOR THE PLAY • Catcher pop time & exchange time • Pitcher timing: first move, release, time to plate • Throwing & glove velocity • Frame-by-frame scrubbing with a precision jog wheel and audio waveform • Strike zone and glove-path overlays for receiving work • Save your overlay layout once and reuse it on every video FOR PARENTS See your kid's real numbers the way a showcase would — right from the stands, on your own phone. FOR COACHES Measure every catcher and pitcher on the team with one phone. Compare, track, and send players clips with the numbers right on the video. Baseball and softball. No account or sign-up — measuring and export are part of the POPTime subscription. Terms of use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: 6 Tool at 5.0 against POPTime's 4.0. 6 Tool also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). POPTime's advantage is ratings volume (112 vs 8) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. POPTime sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and 6 Tool sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $99.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
6 Tool holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: POPTime has 112 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 74% of POPTime's written reviews are positive against 75% of 6 Tool's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
