//What decides it

Four things that matter to a player.

01

Live analysis

1st Touch
An analyst tags your match while it is played. Your stats are ready as the match ends, and on live plans the full analysis is with you within the hour.
Hudl Sportscode
Analysts can capture and code live on capture-enabled tiers, with a camera or feed and a Mac at hand.
02

Accurate data

1st Touch
Every pass, duel and touch is tagged by a person who watched it happen, then checked by a second person before it reaches you.
Hudl Sportscode
As good as the analyst doing the coding. The software doesn't check the work.
03

Player first, not club

1st Touch
Bought by you and built around you. Your record stays yours when you change club, and nobody sees it unless you share it.
Hudl Sportscode
Bought and run by clubs. A player sees what the analysts and coaches choose to share.
04

Vertical AI

1st Touch
Built for one sport and one player. Automation finds the broadcast and cuts every action into its own clip; a trained analyst makes every call about what you did.
Hudl Sportscode
A general, scriptable tool for many sports. The analyst builds the code windows and makes every call.

Questions, answered.

Something else? Write to us and a person replies.

  • Hudl doesn't publish Sportscode prices. It sells five tiers, from Gamebreaker to Elite, and quotes each team after a demo. You also need a Mac, the footage and someone to do the coding. 1st Touch prices per player and shows its prices: match packs from 70 € a match, or a membership for the whole season.

  • It's built for analysts: you need a Mac, the match video and code windows set up for the way you want to tag. Most players see Sportscode work through their club. 1st Touch is built for the player instead: a trained analyst tags every action of your match live, and you get the stats, clips and report yourself.

  • Yes. Your club's analysts keep working on the team in Sportscode. 1st Touch sits beside it as your own analysis: your actions only, tagged live, kept in your account and shared only if you choose.
