Make it obvious. Draw it. Draw over any video or your camera, pause where it matters and record what you mean, right on your iPad. MAKING VIDEOS Tutorials, reviews and walkthroughs, with your drawings and your voice together. No editing. COACHING Break down match footage and share it with the team. Put it on the TV at training, at half-time or in the team meeting, and show the whole squad what happened, and what should have. TEACHING Walk through a diagram, a worked example or an experiment, step by step. NEW: THE SOCCER TOOLKIT Made with coaches, from professional clubs to youth and grassroots teams. • Tap a player to number them. Press play and the number follows them. • Drag out the space a player is running into. • Link two defenders with a line that tracks them as the play continues. • Arrows for passes, runs and the path of the ball. An in-app subscription. TAKE PEOPLE THROUGH A VIDEO Load any video from your library, play or pause, and scrub to the perfect moment. Then just start drawing. Or switch to your iPad's camera, or a USB camera, and draw over it live. Record your drawings and your voice as a finished video, or as a transparent drawing layer to put over your own footage. DRAWING TOOLS CURATED FOR VIDEO Every tool is chosen to stand out clearly on top of moving pictures. Set up your favourite pens and colours so they're always one tap away. Every line responds to Apple Pencil's tilt and pressure. ACTION REPLAY Pause and rewind any live camera: your iPad's own camera, a USB camera or an NDI feed. Jog the Shuttle Wheel back to the moment and draw on it frame by frame, while the live feed keeps playing picture-in-picture. Save the best moments as clips. LIVE TITLES Draw a line, say what you want it to say, and your text appears, sized to fit your line. ON THE BIG SCREEN Put your iPad on a TV or projector with Apple TV, AirPlay or an HDMI adapter. The big screen shows only the footage and your drawings; the toolbar stays on your iPad. YOUR OWN BRANDING Make it look like your club, school or business on every screen. DRAW LIVE IN YOUR CALLS AND STREAMS Video Pencil connects to your Mac or PC for Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, OBS, Ecamm Live and mimoLive. With CueCam Presenter on your Mac, you draw on your iPad and everyone sees it over you, live.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Video Pencil at 4.2 against iNalyse's 3.3. Video Pencil also leads on review sentiment (57% vs 30%) and ratings volume (106 vs 19). iNalyse's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.6). On price, update cadence, 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. iNalyse sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per 7 days and Video Pencil sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Video Pencil holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Video Pencil has 106 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 30% of iNalyse's written reviews are positive against 57% of Video Pencil's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
