Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Catapult
- Satellite positioning does not work indoors, so arena sports must buy a local positioning system with anchor units installed in the venue, which is a capital project priced far above the outdoor product.
- Contracts are typically multi-year with hardware bundled into the subscription, so the annual figure understates the commitment and early exit does not recover the hardware.
- The data is only useful with a qualified sports scientist to interpret it; programmes that buy the vests without the staff get expensive attendance records instead of workload management.
- Raw data access and export are limited relative to what research-minded departments want, so bespoke analysis often depends on what the vendor chooses to expose.
- Cost puts it out of reach of amateur and school sport entirely, and the venue dependency for indoor tracking means the system is tied to a building rather than to the team.
ClubReady
- No pricing information is published on the website
- Pricing model is not disclosed; customers are directed to schedule a demo for custom quotes

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Catapult: Does it work indoors?
Not the satellite-based Vector product. Indoor sports need the local positioning system, which requires anchor units installed in the venue and costs considerably more.
ClubReady: How much does ClubReady cost?
ClubReady does not publish pricing on its website. The company requires customers to schedule a demo or contact their sales team to receive a customized quote.
SourceCatapult: Is the hardware bought or leased?
It is normally bundled into a multi-year subscription. Ask what happens to the units at the end of the term and what an early exit costs.
ClubReady: What is ClubReady's pricing model?
ClubReady's pricing model is not publicly disclosed. The vendor appears to use custom, negotiated pricing based on the size and needs of the fitness facility or business.
SourceCatapult: Do we need a sports scientist?
Effectively yes. Without someone to interpret load and readiness data and a coaching staff willing to change sessions because of it, the investment does not return anything.
ClubReady: Is there a free trial available?
No information about free trials is provided on the website.
SourceCatapult: How does it compare with a chest strap or a watch?
Those give heart rate and little else. Catapult adds positional, acceleration and collision data, which is what distinguishes training load work from fitness tracking.
ClubReady: Who is ClubReady for?
ClubReady provides management software for fitness facilities, studios, and other membership-based businesses, positioning itself as suitable for businesses from startup to scale-up phases.
