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.
Zen Planner
- Limited staff app features compared to desktop version
- System crashes and occasional bugs reported by users
- Integration difficulties with certain third-party platforms
- Customers report continued charges after completed cancellation

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.
Zen Planner: Does Zen Planner have a free tier?
No, Zen Planner does not offer a free tier. Pricing starts at $99 per month with no free trial mentioned in their standard offerings.
SourceCoach 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.
Zen Planner: Can Zen Planner integrate with ClassPass?
Yes. ClassPass seamlessly integrates with Zen Planner, allowing gyms to sync their schedule and avoid overbooking when offering ClassPass to members.
SourceCoach 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.
Zen Planner: Does Zen Planner work with SugarWOD?
Yes. Zen Planner integrates with SugarWOD, making it a popular choice for CrossFit gym owners who want to manage both WOD tracking and gym operations in one system.
SourceCoach 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.
