The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Kitman Labs it produces no data itself, so a club without wearables, screening protocols or a testing routine buys an empty platform and blames the software.; Veo the camera has to be present, so away fixtures at grounds without a Veo produce no footage and half the season goes unrecorded unless the opposition also owns one.
  • They diverge on capability: Kitman Labs covers Unified athlete record, Veo covers Two-lens wide capture.
  • 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.

Kitman Labs

  • It produces no data itself, so a club without wearables, screening protocols or a testing routine buys an empty platform and blames the software.
  • Implementation is a project rather than a purchase, involving historical data migration and staff process change, and it commonly takes a season to reach useful adoption.
  • Pricing is organisational and multi-year, which puts it out of reach of clubs below a certain budget regardless of how much they would benefit.
  • Holding injury and treatment records makes the platform a store of health data about identified athletes, so the club needs role separation, retention rules and a process for responding when a player requests their record.
  • The acquisition of a competing athlete management platform leaves two products with overlapping purpose under one owner, and buyers on either should get a written answer on long-term development before committing.

Veo

  • The camera has to be present, so away fixtures at grounds without a Veo produce no footage and half the season goes unrecorded unless the opposition also owns one.
  • Automatic tracking degrades in rain, low light, snow and when the tripod is mounted too low, and a poorly tracked match is close to unwatchable.
  • Uploads are large and depend on the club broadband, so processing after a weekend of fixtures can take hours and rural clubhouses are the worst affected.
  • The subscription is the product; if it lapses, the camera you bought becomes a recording device with nowhere useful to send the footage.
  • Filming amateur sport almost always means filming minors, and the club is the party responsible for consent, retention and who can access the footage, not the vendor hosting it.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Kitman Labs: Do we need wearables to use it?

Not strictly, but most of the value comes from combining feeds. With only manual questionnaire entry the platform is an expensive form.

Veo: Can Veo analyse footage I filmed myself?

No. Veo processes recordings from Veo cameras. Footage from a camcorder or phone needs a tagging and analysis package instead.

Kitman Labs: Can coaches see medical notes?

Access is role-based and should be configured so they cannot. Getting that separation right is a governance decision, not a default, and it is worth auditing after go-live.

Veo: Is this hardware or software?

Both, and the hardware is the gating purchase. You buy the camera and then subscribe to the cloud service that makes the recordings usable.

Kitman Labs: What happened with Smartabase?

Kitman Labs acquired the company behind it, putting two competing athlete management platforms under one owner. Ask which one your contract commits you to and where development is going.

Veo: What happens to our footage if we stop subscribing?

Access to the cloud library depends on an active subscription. Ask specifically about export and retention before you cancel, and download what you need first.
