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.
Wodify
- Pricing is per location, advertised at $99 per month against a $199 per month list price
- The discounted rate is tied to booking a demo by a stated deadline
- SMS messaging is only available in the US and Canada

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.
Wodify: Is there a free trial or introductory pricing?
Try the software for $1 per month as an introductory offer.
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.
Wodify: How long does it take to switch from another platform?
On average, it takes an existing gym two weeks to transition to Wodify.
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.
Catapult: 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.
