How We Compare
Camera-based laser scoring is our lane. Sensor-based mechanics trainers (like MantisX) solve a different problem — and pair well with LaserLock.

¹ Camera-based laser scoring products such as Mantis® Laser Academy, based on publicly available product information at time of writing. ² LaserLock scores point of impact; a rail-mounted mechanics sensor analyses your trigger press — the two measure different things. ³ Leaderboards will be optional and strictly opt-in; core training never requires an account. Mantis®, MantisX® and Laser Academy are trademarks of their respective owners. LaserLock is not affiliated with or endorsed by Mantis Tech, LLC.
Better Together
MantisX and LaserLock aren't rivals — they measure different halves of the same shot. MantisX watches your mechanics: trigger press, muzzle wobble, movement before and after the break. LaserLock watches your results: where the shot actually landed, how fast your splits were, whether you engaged targets in the called order. Mount your sensor, chamber your laser cartridge, and run both in the same dry-fire session — mechanics feedback from your rail, impact scoring from LaserLock. Full picture, zero extra effort.
Because LaserLock runs entirely on-device today, there's nothing to sign up for and nothing to leak. Global leaderboards and shared challenges — which do need a secure backend — are on the roadmap as an opt-in upgrade. When they arrive, offline-first stays the default: you choose what, if anything, gets shared.
