SetSync

SetSync is a video review app built for strength athletes. Film your lifts in ultra slow motion, scrub them frame by frame, and put two sessions side by side to see exactly what changed. Your footage never leaves your device. SEE EVERY FRAME Film at up to 240fps and step through every frame with precise scrubbing, variable speed playback, and zoom. Mark reps automatically or by hand and jump straight to the moment that matters. COMPARE LIFTS LIKE A COACH This is the heart of SetSync. Put up to four lifts side by side in split screen, or stack two lifts in overlay mode with adjustable opacity to spot the smallest shift in positioning. Set sync anchors so both videos line up at the same phase of the lift regardless of tempo. Compare today against your best set ever, or your opener against your third attempt. RECORD FROM MULTIPLE ANGLES AT ONCE Pair several devices and film the same lift from every angle in lockstep. Cross-device by design: iPhone, iPad, and Android phones running SetSync all sync together. Bring every angle onto one device to review or overlay frame for frame, and start or stop the whole rig from your Apple Watch. BAR PATH AND BAR SPEED A custom on-device detector finds the barbell and traces its path through every rep: lateral drift, forward shift, and the exact frame your pull breaks down. Calibrated by plate size, SetSync also measures rep velocity in metres per second, colours the bar path by speed, flags velocity loss across a set, and builds your load-velocity profile over time. Connect the Apple Watch app for wrist-measured velocity as a cross-check. SHARE THE LIFT, DATA AND ALL Send a lift to another SetSync user as one file over AirDrop or Messages. It lands in their library with bar path, velocity, pose, and ratings intact and toggleable. Preview the framing and crop by hand or automatically before it leaves your phone. FILM YOUR TRAINING PARTNERS Tag lifts with a friend's name. They stay searchable by name and trend separately, never mixing into your progress charts. FORGE: YOUR HIGHLIGHT REEL BUILDER Select lifts from your library, arrange them on a visual timeline, and craft polished training videos with overlays, text annotations, and transitions. Export one video ready for Instagram or TikTok. COACH INTEGRATION Athletes receive structured programs, record their sets, and share annotated sessions back. Coaches review submissions with true bar speed per rep, leave timestamped feedback, and rate the key attributes of every lift. PROGRESS TRACKING Every session is logged. Trend any movement three ways: bar speed and rep tempo from tracked video, 1-5 star ratings across Technique, Depth, Bar Path, Speed, and Control, or joint angles from pose (beta). Exclude filming exceptions and see whole-library stats: sessions per week, movement mix, rep tempo. MOVEMENT TEMPLATES 44 built-in templates spanning powerlifting, Olympic lifting, strongman, functional fitness, and gymnastics, with camera-angle-aware criteria and coaching cues for each lift. EXPERIMENTAL EXTRAS (BETA) SetSync can overlay a skeleton using on-device pose estimation and generate AI form suggestions from it. Both are beta features, best treated as a second opinion. The video review and comparison tools above are where SetSync shines. BUILT FOR PRIVACY Your videos stay on your device. Analysis runs entirely on-device and no footage is uploaded to any server. Coach sharing uses Apple CloudKit, so your data stays in your own iCloud account. Free includes recording, import, manual lift marking, automatic rep detection, playback with speed control, and one comparison at a time. Pro unlocks unlimited comparisons, bar path overlays, pose overlay (beta), annotations, rep counting, CSV export, and the Forge editor (one-time purchase). Pro+ adds AI form feedback (beta), progress trends, coach sharing, overlay video export, all 44 templates, and auto-crop (subscription). Terms of Use (EULA): https://setsync.app/terms/

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Spond at none against SetSync's 3. Spond also leads on chart position (#70 vs unranked). SetSync's advantage is update cadence (daily vs weekly) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
