Where Hudl is stronger
- It is the film source most teams already use, with auto-recording cameras.
- Film tools with playlists, comments and reels.
- Assist links stats to clips, for basketball too.
Where Hoops ClinIQ is different
- Hoops ClinIQ covers basketball: film you record, playbook, player study, cited answers. Keep Hudl for football.
- Plays and ClinIQ answers live in one library, and a clip links to its play.
- Clip to play (beta) drafts a play from a short clip, and a coach places and fixes the players. Not yet tested on real amateur footage. Nothing to buy or install in the gym.
- Prices are public and there is a free plan.
ClinIQ answers always show their source.
Switching, or using both
Keep Hudl for football. Hoops ClinIQ is its own platform: record games on your phone with us, or upload a video file from any camera. There is no import or sync with Hudl.
- 1Apply for the pilot, and we tag one of your games by hand.
- 2Try clip to play (beta) on a short clip, and fix the draft.
- 3Tag your next game with your own play names.
