AccelMeter vs Acc.elerometer
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
AccelMeter
Visualize and measure current acceleration in 3D. Explore different modes to understand gravitational forces or measure g-forces during movement. Ideal for testing vehicle acceleration or understanding rotational forces.
- 3D graphical vector visualization
- Absolute acceleration mode
- Relative acceleration mode
- X, Y, Z rotation display
- Measures g-forces
- Visualizes gravitational forces

First and only 3D-graphical Vector Accelerometer in App Store: Smoothly visualize and measure the current acceleration. It can be used on earth, on moon or in orbit (where relative would be equal to absolute mode - please prove) to visualize the direction and strength of the gravitation - or simply at home to measure the g-forces you reach while shaking your phone - however be warned if you tend to get to the limits! :-). A fun application is to place the iPhone/iPod steady in your car (or any other moving vehicle), go to relative mode, zero it once when you are standing and then see the current g-forces in effect while you drive (e.g. what g-force does your car get when you accelerate?). The application has five different display modes for acceleration visualization: - Absolute Mode: Displays the reverse acceleration of the iPhone (1g up when hold steady). - X-Rotation - Y-Rotation - Z-Rotation: The arrow will display the rotation around the X-, Y- and Z-Axis of the iPhone. The digital indicator shows the angle numerically (-180° - +180°). A way to calibrate will be added with one of the next updates, so you could use this as a level. - Relative Mode: This mode shows the relative strength (absolute minus compensation vector) of the acceleration. For a detailed documentation, please visit our product homepage. For recreational use only. However it CAN (!) be very accurate. The measurement is performed as good as possible (we try our best) by using the inbuilt accelerometer and magnetometer to their limits. The range of the accelerometer typically has a max of ±3g (~4.2g displayed here if combined). However, tell us your experience! Check out all our products (free and paid) on www.plaincode.com

Transform your device into a powerful motion sensor laboratory. Record and visualize real-time data from your device's built-in sensors with interactive charts and precise measurements. Perfect for researchers, developers, students, and anyone interested in understanding device motion. Supported sensors: • Accelerometer – Total device acceleration including gravity (G-force) • User Acceleration – Pure motion acceleration without gravity influence • Gyroscope – Rotation rate around all three axes (rad/s) • Magnetometer – Magnetic field strength and compass data (μT) • Device Attitude – 3D orientation in space (roll, pitch, yaw) • Gravity – Isolated gravitational force vector (G-force) Key features: • Real-time sensor visualization with smooth, interactive charts • Manual start/stop control for targeted data collection • Export any recording as timestamped CSV files • Customizable recording sessions with precise timing control Export analysis: All sensor data exports as CSV files with timestamps, making it seamless to import into any data analysis platform. Start recording with a single tap and unlock the hidden motion story of your device.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: AccelMeter at every 6 months against Acc.elerometer's every 20 months. AccelMeter also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
