Everybody in this market publishes a "best play designer software" page, and almost all of them are written by one of the tools on the list. So is this one — we make Playmaker. What we can do instead of pretending otherwise is show our working: every price and every free-tier limit below was read off the other tool's own pages, on a date the page prints, with those pages linked. Where we could not verify a figure, the table says so rather than carrying a number.

Basketball is the most crowded corner of this market and the one where the best tool went behind a sales team. Here is what is left, what each free tier really allows, and what happened to FastDraw.
Football is the one sport in this market where nearly every tool asks for a card before it prints anything — and printing is the thing football coaches actually want. Here is what each of them costs, and which two are genuinely free.
Almost every play designer says "free". Almost none of them mean the same thing by it. Here is what nine of them actually let you do without paying — read off their own pages, with the pages linked.
Soccer has more tactics-board apps than any other sport and the fewest genuinely free ones. Here is which of them you can actually use for nothing, and what the rest charge.
FastDraw is the best-known play diagramming tool in basketball. Since Hudl acquired it there is no published price and no self-serve purchase. This is what changed and what your options are.
This is the closest comparison on the site: two browser play designers that animate automatically and share by a plain link. Here is where they genuinely differ.
These two are not really competitors, and pretending otherwise would waste your time. Hudl sells a platform to an athletic department. We give a play designer to a coach. Here is where the line actually falls.
Plenty of coaches want the playbook half of Hudl and none of the film. This is what to use instead, by sport, with prices read off each vendor and dated.
