BetterPose vs Poxture App
Some people sit better when they can see a number. BetterPose gives you one: a live posture score from 0 to 100, on a Mac or a Windows PC. Poxture App tells you which habit slipped, shows how to fix it, and you pay for it once. Every fact about BetterPose below comes from BetterPose's own website.

What BetterPose is
BetterPose is a posture app for macOS and Windows, with Linux "Coming soon". It "uses your webcam and on-device AI to understand how you're sitting while you work in real time" and "detects when you start to slouch or fall out of alignment." Setup is short: "sit upright, and tap Calibrate."1,2
It is run by Aleks Bezjak in Slovenia. The home page names a co-founder, Aljaž Golob, a movement coach and personal trainer.1,3
A score, or a named habit
BetterPose shows "A single, calibrated score from 0–100" as you work. When you slouch, "you get a gentle on-screen notification that helps you correct your position instantly."1
Poxture App names the habit that slipped. It checks for eight: too close to the screen, looking down, hand on face, slouching, sitting still too long, hunched over, leaning to one side and not working from a proper desk setup. When you've held a habit like looking down or slouching for about half a minute, by default, a soft glow at the top of the screen tells you, and a card shows how to fix it. When you have, the glow turns green.
What it costs
BetterPose has a 3-day free trial: "3 days, no card." You enter your email to download it. After that, it is €48 a year, paid at once, or €7 a month. One license works on any platform, "tied to a single device at a time". There is a 14-day money-back guarantee, and a Teams plan "priced to your headcount".1,2
Poxture App is free to use: the first hour of each day is free for good, and for your first 14 days every feature works all day, with no email and no account. To keep it on all day you pay $19 once, for one Mac, with every 1.x update. BetterPose's yearly plan is €96 over two years.
Privacy
BetterPose says "No images are captured, stored, or uploaded." Its privacy policy says that once a day the app sends "a small anonymous usage summary": the minutes tracked, an average score and a count of nudges. It also lists anonymous usage counts.1,3
Poxture App works in a similar way. Its camera images never leave your Mac: it reads each frame in memory and drops it. Poxture App sends usage counts with a random install number and, once a day, rounded posture scores with no install number, and supporters can turn both off in Settings. The privacy page lists every item.
