In short
Hudl is a big platform for storing, sharing and breaking down match video, priced per team per year. It suits clubs that want one place for video, livestreams, recruiting profiles and stats tagged by someone. If what you want is simpler, every player on both teams named, his running, his clips and a written report the next evening, without tagging anything yourself, SeeKick does that from the video you already have, from $10 a month.
What Hudl is
Hudl is a video platform for teams in many sports. For club soccer it sells three packages per team, per year: on its website in November 2026, Core at $500, Plus at $1,000 and Premier at $2,500. Each includes video storage, sharing, livestreaming, playlists and athlete profiles. The higher packages add AI performance summaries, heat maps and 3D stat views, and Premier adds analyst-supported breakdowns. Professional analysts also use Hudl Sportscode, a separate desktop tool for coding video by hand. Running data comes from Hudl's own GPS vests, sold separately.
When Hudl is the right choice
- You want one platform for video, livestreams, recruiting profiles, schedules and messaging.
- You run many teams in a US-style club or school programme and want the same tool everywhere.
- You have an analyst who codes matches in Sportscode and wants that workflow.
- You want GPS vests for your own squad's training load.
When a simpler tool fits better
- You want the analysis done for you. In SeeKick you upload the match and add both team sheets. Nobody tags anything.
- You want both teams. Every player on the pitch is followed and named, including the opponent's, which makes opposition analysis part of every match.
- You want running data without vests. Distance, top speed and sprints come from the video, for your players and theirs. See running data without GPS.
- You pay per month and stay small. Plans start at $10 a month for one player and $50 for a coach or analyst, with the first match free.

Using both
Many clubs will keep Hudl for storing and sharing video and add SeeKick for the analysis. Upload the same match video to SeeKick, and the next evening you have every player named, their running and a written report, plus exports for clips and reels and spreadsheets.
Questions
What is a cheaper alternative to Hudl for football?
If you mainly want your matches analysed rather than a full video platform, SeeKick starts at $10 a month, $50 for a coach or analyst and $130 for a club, and the first match is free. You upload the match and every player on both teams is named, with running data, clips and a report.
Do I need to tag the match myself?
Not with SeeKick. You add both team sheets when you upload, and the players, their running and the key moments are found for you.
Can I use my Hudl video in SeeKick?
If you can download the match as a video file, yes. Upload it to SeeKick like any other match.
Does SeeKick livestream matches?
No. SeeKick analyses recorded matches. If livestreaming is what you need, a video platform like Hudl is the better fit.
