Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Coach Logic

  • There is no capture hardware, so someone still has to film every match, and the quality of the whole exercise depends on a volunteer with a camera turning up.
  • Statistical and data analysis is minimal, so a programme that wants event data, physical metrics or opposition modelling needs a different product entirely.
  • It is a small vendor with United Kingdom business hours support, which is a genuine issue for clubs in other time zones and for weekend match day problems.
  • The ecosystem around it is small: no recruiting network, no data partners and few integrations, so it does not grow with a programme that becomes semi-professional.
  • Player-led tagging only works if players actually do it, and squads that treat video as a job for the coach get much less from the platform than the pricing implies.

MyFitnessPal

  • Free tier limited to 5 food entries per day unless premium subscriber
  • Limited offline functionality - cannot search new foods or scan barcodes without internet
  • Database accuracy issues reported at approximately 15% error rate
  • Data export only available via desktop web browser, not mobile app

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Coach Logic: Do we need a camera to use it?

Yes, MyFitnessPal offers a free tier with access to calorie and macro tracking, a 20.5M food database, and weight tracking. However, free users are limited to 5 food entries per day and must endure advertisements.

Coach Logic: Is it only for rugby?

No, but rugby is where it is strongest and where most of its reference clubs are, reflecting its Scottish origins.

MyFitnessPal: Does MyFitnessPal work offline?

MyFitnessPal has limited offline functionality. You can view previously logged foods and meal history without internet, but you cannot search the full food database or scan barcodes offline.

Source
Coach Logic: How does it compare with Hudl on price?

It is sold per team per year at a level aimed at volunteer-run clubs, which is a different bracket from enterprise per sport school agreements.

MyFitnessPal: Can I export my data from MyFitnessPal?

Yes. MyFitnessPal allows users to export full account data including all food logs, recipes, and weight entries through the web browser (desktop only, not available in the mobile app).

Source
Coach Logic: What if our players do not tag anything?

Then you are paying for a video sharing library, which still works but is not the reason to choose this product over a cheaper storage option.

MyFitnessPal: What devices does MyFitnessPal integrate with?

MyFitnessPal integrates with 40+ health apps and devices including Fitbit, Garmin, Apple Health, Google Fit, Samsung Health, and Apple Watch, automatically syncing activity and calorie data.
