Turn any video into real motion data — right on your iPhone. VidMoLyze is built for physics and math classrooms. Record a dropped ball, a rolling cart, a pendulum, or any motion you want to study, then calibrate, track, and export clean position, velocity, and acceleration data — ready for Excel, Google Sheets, or Python. HOW IT WORKS • Record with a locked shutter speed for crisp, trackable frames • Calibrate using a known real-world measurement (like a meter stick) in your shot • Set your origin and axes to match your desired coordinate system • Track your object frame-by-frame with precise manual placement- zoom in for accuracy • Export a clean CSV data file — frame, time, position, velocity, and acceleration for every point BUILT FOR THE CLASSROOM Existing motion analysis tools are either locked to a paid app, limited to desktop, or produce exports too messy to use in a normal class period. VidMoLyze is free, works entirely on your device, and gets students from raw video to usable data fast enough to fit inside a single 55-minute class. WHO IT'S FOR Physics and algebra teachers covering kinematics, projectile motion, free fall, circular motion, or terminal velocity — and any student who wants to see the math behind real movement, not just a textbook diagram. VidMoLyze is free to use, supported by a small, non-intrusive ad.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: VidMoLyze at 5.0 against 5's 1.4. 5's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (6.6K vs 1). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
VidMoLyze holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 1.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 5 has 6.6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
