| Fact | Motara | VTube Studio |
|---|---|---|
| Collaboration | The source includes installation identity storage, invitation formats, encrypted peer frames, local friend records, and model-package transfer primitives. | VNet allows Steam friends to collaborate inside VTube Studio and requires its Steam DLC; it supports Windows and macOS. |
| Privacy | Tracking frames, models, scenes, and screenshots are not automatically uploaded; collaboration actions can create peer or service network connections. | The maker says the apps do not collect user information and that app data, models, images, videos, and face-tracking data are not shared; iOS tracking data can be sent to an IP on the user's local network when enabled. |
| Purpose | Motara is an open-source desktop application for facial-tracking data, virtual-avatar control, and scene composition. | VTube Studio is an app for Virtual YouTubers to bring their Live2D models to life. |
