The short version

  • Only Komoot has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Komoot offline maps are sold per geographic region rather than per user, so coverage is bought as a Single Region, a Region Bundle or the World Pack; STATSports cost scales with squad size because each athlete needs a pod, so an academy monitoring several age groups pays for a fleet of devices and the replacements they lose.
  • They diverge on capability: Komoot covers Route planning, STATSports covers Vest-worn tracking pods.
  • 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.

Komoot

  • Offline maps are sold per geographic region rather than per user, so coverage is bought as a Single Region, a Region Bundle or the World Pack
  • Only the first single region is free; every further region costs money
  • The World Pack that unlocks worldwide offline maps is a separate 29.99 euro purchase
  • komoot Premium is a separate subscription from the one-off map region purchases

STATSports

  • Cost scales with squad size because each athlete needs a pod, so an academy monitoring several age groups pays for a fleet of devices and the replacements they lose.
  • The data is inert without a sports scientist to interpret it, and clubs that buy the hardware without the hire end up with dashboards nobody acts on.
  • Satellite positioning does not work indoors, so indoor sports and indoor sessions need a separate local positioning system and a second procurement.
  • Pods and straps are lost, damaged and left in kit bags, and replacements are a recurring cost that the initial quotation tends to understate.
  • The output is personal data about identified athletes and, where heart rate and injury context are involved, health-related data, so the club needs a lawful basis, a retention policy, parental consent for minors and an answer when a player asks for a copy or objects.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Komoot: Does Komoot charge for basic access?

No. Komoot offers free signup and free account access. Users can download the mobile app and use core features at no stated cost.

Source
STATSports: Does it work indoors?

Not reliably. Satellite positioning degrades badly under a roof. Indoor sports need a local positioning system rather than this category of product.

Komoot: Does Komoot offer paid premium tiers?

The homepage emphasizes free features but does not clearly disclose whether premium or paid tiers exist. Users interested in pricing details would need to check the signup page or contact Komoot directly.

Source
STATSports: Who owns the player data?

The club is normally the data controller and the vendor the processor, which means the obligations sit with the club. Get this written into the contract rather than assumed.

Komoot: What can you do with a free Komoot account?

With a free account, users can find, customize, and navigate outdoor adventures using Komoot's platform.

Source
STATSports: Do we need player consent?

You need a documented lawful basis, and for academy players who are minors that generally means parental consent plus an age-appropriate explanation. Legitimate interests alone is a weak position for physiological data.
