AIMoCap combines video-based motion capture with several character targets and robot output. The free plan provides a way to evaluate the workflow, while longer videos and more capacity require a paid plan.

FreeMoCap offers local processing, multiple camera options, and exports for further use, including a Blender add-on. Its alpha status and the RTMPose Blender-export limitation are worth considering before settling on a workflow.
