Hudl helps you study tagged moments. Cutsio helps you find the moment.
Hudl is a powerful coaching ecosystem for capturing, breaking down, sharing, and exchanging sports film. Cutsio adds the missing search layer: describe the play, player, formation, or visual moment and jump there across your entire library.
Search by meaning
Describe the play or visual detail. Cutsio searches beyond filenames and manual tags.
Keep your workflow
Use Cutsio alongside Hudl, or use it as the searchable home for your wider footage library.
Find it in seconds
Go from a full game to exact timestamps for scouting, self-review, recruiting, or highlights.
The faster path from footage to an answer.
Hudl is excellent at the coaching workflow it was built for. Cutsio is the obvious choice when the hard part is finding the right clip across more footage than a coach can manually tag.
Coaches searching across a season
Find every blitz, zone read, set piece, transition, or player moment by describing the play instead of remembering how it was tagged.
Programs with years of footage
Turn game files, practice recordings, scouting film, and camera exports into one searchable library that does not depend on perfect manual labels.
Recruiting and content teams
Move from a full game to a player reel or highlight package quickly, then export the selected clips for the tools your team already uses.
Hudl teams that need a faster search layer
Keep Hudl for coaching distribution, playlists, and exchange. Add Cutsio where the bottleneck is finding the right moment in the first place.
Upload, search, select, share.
Hudl gives coaches a connected place to capture and analyze sport-specific film. Cutsio gives every file a semantic search layer so your staff can find useful moments without first building a perfect log.
Bring in your existing footage
Upload game, practice, scout, and camera files to Cutsio. Footage downloaded from Hudl can be uploaded as a normal video file.
Cutsio indexes the visual content
Visual Intelligence combines what appears in the frame with speech, text, and timestamps so the library is searchable beyond filenames and hand-entered tags.
Describe the moment you need
Search for “third-and-short,” “red-zone motion,” “player 12,” or the equivalent moment in your sport, then jump directly to matching timestamps.
Compile, share, or export
Create a short list, scouting package, or reel. Share the result from Cutsio or export clips for Hudl, an NLE, or another downstream workflow.
Hudl organizes the coaching workflow. Cutsio makes the footage searchable.
Hudl’s official product pages emphasize smart-camera capture, sport-specific breakdowns, linked stats, playlists, sharing, and exchange. Cutsio is built around a different first question: “What happened in the video, and where is it?”
| Capability | Cutsio | Hudl |
|---|---|---|
| Search by describing what happens in the frame | ||
| Visual search across untagged footage | ||
| Search across mixed sports and general video libraries | ||
| AI chat over the searchable video library | ||
| Export selected moments for editing and publishing | ||
| Use both tools in one workflow | ||
| Sport-specific breakdowns and stats linked to video | ||
| Playlists, coaching notes, and player distribution | ||
| Opponent film exchange with other teams | ||
| Capture matches with a dedicated smart camera |
Use Hudl for distribution. Use Cutsio for discovery.
You do not need to throw away a working coaching ecosystem. If Hudl is where your team shares playlists and exchanges film, Cutsio can sit in front of it and remove the slowest part: finding the clips.

Hudl pricing depends on sport, level, and package. Its public club-football page lists team subscriptions at $400, $1,000, or $1,600 per year with 30, 100, or 200 hours of video storage. Cutsio plans scale around footage hours and visual indexing, so the searchable library is not priced by the number of coaches who need access.
Hudl Bronze
$400 / team / year
Public club-football tier with 30 hours of video storage.
Cutsio Pro
$59 / month
2 users included, 30 storage hours, 5 visual-indexing hours, and a search-first workflow.
Cutsio Studio
$249 / month
10 users included, 150 storage hours, and 25 visual-indexing hours for larger libraries.
Hudl pricing varies outside the public club-football tiers. Check the current plan for your sport and level before buying.
