The short version

  • Only Strava has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: 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.; Strava segment leaderboards, custom goals, workout analysis, offline routes and fitness scoring all require a subscription
  • They diverge on capability: Coach Logic covers Player-led tagging, Strava covers GPS activity tracking.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

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.

Strava

  • Segment leaderboards, custom goals, workout analysis, offline routes and fitness scoring all require a subscription
  • The $5 a month headline is the annual rate, billed as $59.99 a year
  • The student rate and the Runna bundle are annual only, with no monthly option

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

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

You need footage from somewhere. Coach Logic does not sell hardware; clubs film on phones, handheld cameras or automated systems such as Veo and upload the result.

Strava: Does Strava offer a free tier?

Yes. Strava Free includes basic activity tracking, GPS recording, activity feed, following other athletes, giving kudos, and basic segments with top 10 leaderboard access. The free tier does not include full segment leaderboards, training zones, or heart rate analysis.

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.

Strava: What does Strava Premium cost?

Strava costs $11.99 per month or $79.99 per year for individual users. A Family Plan costs $139.99 per year. Students receive 50% off at $39.99 per year with verification.

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.

Strava: Can I export my data from Strava?

Yes. Every Strava athlete can download their data for free at any time through the app, website, or direct download. However, API access now requires a paid subscription for Standard Tier developers costing $12 per month.

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.

Strava: Does Strava work offline?

Strava records activities offline using GPS on your device, but viewing historical data and accessing most app features requires an internet connection to sync and display data.
