Before you choose
Match the tracking to the work
Body tracking, face tracking and hand tracking are separate comparison points. Check which kinds of movement a tool supports for the characters or output you need.
Check the animation workflow
Character retargeting can matter when motion needs to drive a character. Cleanup tools and real-time output are also worth comparing before choosing a workflow.
Confirm export and platform support
Compare export formats with the software or pipeline where you plan to use the motion. Check supported platforms, including Windows, Linux, web, macOS, API and iOS.
Look at the way you can try it
A free plan and a free trial are different options, and pricing can vary. Check the tool's current plan terms and paid starting price before committing. Examples with a listed free plan include Animaze, Move AI and OpenCap.
