The short version

Each has a real cost: Hudl pricing is quoted per team, per sport and per season, so a school with a dozen programmes multiplies the cost rather than buying one institutional licence, and the negotiation happens annually for each.; Noom coaches deliver automated, canned responses without personalization and most lack formal qualifications as registered dietitians
They diverge on capability: Hudl covers Video breakdown and tagging, Noom covers Psychology-based curriculum.

Where each one falls short

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

Hudl

Pricing is quoted per team, per sport and per season, so a school with a dozen programmes multiplies the cost rather than buying one institutional licence, and the negotiation happens annually for each.
Hudl Focus cameras are sold inside multi-year subscriptions that bundle hardware, so what looks like a software renewal is a three-year capital commitment that early termination does not unwind.
Sportscode is macOS only and priced in a different bracket, so an organisation planning to grow from the school product into elite analysis discovers a hardware and budget change rather than an upgrade.
Years of tagged video, highlights and athlete profiles accumulate inside the platform and export poorly, which weakens your position at every renewal.
Acquisitions have left overlapping products, Hudl, Wyscout, StatsBomb and Instat among them, with roadmaps that are not always clear to customers who bought them separately.

Noom

Coaches deliver automated, canned responses without personalization and most lack formal qualifications as registered dietitians
App crashes and freezes frequently with issues saving data, and barcode feature for food tracking malfunctions
Food database requires tedious manual data entry even for common items, discouraging consistent logging
Difficult cancellation process requiring navigating multiple steps to opt out of auto-renewal
FTC settlement in 2022 for $62 million over misleading auto-renewal and refund practices

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Hudl: How much does Hudl cost for a school?

It is quoted per team, per sport and per season across tiers, so the answer depends on how many programmes you cover. Ask for the full multi-sport figure rather than a single team price.

Noom: What are Noom's pricing plans?

Noom Weight app costs approximately $70 per month on a monthly plan, $42 per month on a 4-month plan, or $209 upfront for an annual plan (roughly $17 per month). A 14-day free trial is offered but auto-converts to paid subscription if not canceled.

Source

Hudl: Is the Focus camera rented or bought?

In practice it is bundled into a multi-year subscription. Read the term and the early termination clause, because the hardware cost sits inside it.

Noom: What does Noom's coaching include?

Noom provides access to human coaches for weekly check-ins, daily psychology-based lessons, interactive challenges, and food and weight tracking. Coaching is included in all paid tiers.

Source

Hudl: Does Sportscode run on Windows?

No. It is macOS only, which is a genuine budget item for an organisation moving up from the school product.

Noom: How does Noom's food color system work?

Noom categorizes foods using a color system based on caloric density: green (low calorie density), yellow (moderate), and red (high calorie density). This encourages behavioral changes in eating habits rather than strict dieting.

Source

Hudl: Can I take my video with me if I leave?

Individual clips can be downloaded, but the tagged structure, playlists and athlete profiles do not travel well, and that is a deliberate feature of the renewal conversation.

Noom: What other programs does Noom offer?

Beyond Noom Weight, Noom offers five additional programs including Noom Med, a telehealth service with pricing ranging from $17/month for coaching to $279/month for GLP-1 medication plans with licensed clinicians.
