NextPlay covers 41 sports — soccer, football, basketball, volleyball and more — from any footage source.
A full game becomes a Game Tape of every play plus a short Highlight, with an MP4 download you can post or send to a coach.
No tool is best at everything. Here's where GameChanger is the better choice.
GameChanger is cheaper — its Plus plan is $39.99 a year — and free for coaches.
GameChanger handles team schedules, live scoring, stats and streaming, which NextPlay doesn't.
If your team already scores and streams every game in GameChanger, its clips arrive without you uploading anything.
GameChanger's clips come from games a coach scores live in its app, and it is built around baseball and softball. NextPlay works on any film you have, in any of its supported sports, and cuts a whole game into every play plus a shareable highlight you can download.
Yes. Many families keep GameChanger for schedules, scores and streams, and use NextPlay to turn their own game film into highlights and game tape.
