Both apps track baseball and softball stats. But when it comes to configurability, pitcher safety, data ownership, and fan access — the differences add up fast.
Eight reasons coaches and parents choose us over the leading competitor.
The leading competitor charges every fan $40–$180/year to watch live games and view stats. Game Day Stat Tracker gives your entire community a free live scoreboard — one flat team license covers everyone.
Not every game needs the same level of detail. Toggle pitch speed, pitch types, baserunners, and batter contact on or off per game. Track your team, the opponent, or both. The leading competitor's one-size-fits-all model can't do that.
Track pitch speed in mph and break down every strike as contact, swing-and-miss, or looking. The leading competitor doesn't capture velocity or contact quality — data that matters for pitcher development and scouting.
Set custom pitch count limits and warning thresholds for each pitcher. Collect relief pitcher limits when they enter the game. The leading competitor counts pitches but doesn't let you configure safety thresholds.
Slice stats by pitch type, count, pitcher handedness, and base-runner state. See how a batter performs in a hitter's count vs a pitcher's count. The leading competitor's stats are static — ours are interactive.
Export every report to CSV or HTML. Your team's data is portable and owned by you — not locked inside a third-party platform. The leading competitor holds your data hostage behind a paywall.
We specialize in the diamond sports — every feature is designed for the nuances of baseball and softball. The leading competitor spreads itself across 20+ sports, diluting the depth for each.
Grandparents, parents, and fans follow a live public scoreboard link with real-time pitch counts, baserunners, and scores. No app download, no subscription, no paywall — just the game.
