SportsVisio: a team and player box score (kills, digs, blocks, aces, assists, reception, attack attempt percentages, total points and all errors), a clip attached to every stat, full game video, and a highlight reel for every player.

What is Tavo?

Tavo is an AI volleyball app that turns uploaded match video into player stats, highlights and match analysis without manual tagging. You film a match on a phone, upload it, and Tavo returns stats, clips and a shareable highlight set. It also offers playlists of moments you can share with coaches, family or recruiters, and a recruiting profile that collects standout plays and season stats.

On pricing, Tavo lists $29 a month for one player, with access for up to four parents or coaches, or $89 a month for a team with unlimited players, parents and coaches. Billed annually, those prices are $21 and $65 a month ($252 and $780 a year). Annual plans include 120 hours of match video a year; monthly plans include 10 hours a month. Tavo offers a full refund within 7 days, with terms on its pricing page. Clubs with 10 or more teams can ask for custom pricing.

Tavo fits players and families who want a self-serve app for one athlete, and teams that want published team pricing without a sales quote. Do not treat Tavo’s published accuracy or training-set claims as independently verified; this page does not repeat them.

What is Balltime (Hudl Balltime)?

Balltime is an AI volleyball platform that Hudl acquired, with the acquisition completed in February 2025. Hudl is combining Balltime with Hudl and Volleymetrics into one Hudl volleyball platform. Individual subscriptions still run on Balltime until Hudl says otherwise. Team subscriptions move to Hudl at renewal, and existing Balltime video and stats remain viewable in Hudl.

Hudl lists automatic downtime removal, automatic tagging of touches and players, automatic vertical highlight reels, serve, attack and set speeds, vertical jump detection, and recruiting video tools among Balltime’s features. Individual pricing is $20 a month for the Player plan (15 hours of video per month) and $299 a year for Recruiting (listed as $25 a month, with 200 hours of video per year). Both individual plans have a 14-day trial with no credit card required. Team pricing is by quote through Hudl.

Balltime fits recruiting-focused athletes who want those individual tools, and programs that already run on Hudl and want volleyball AI inside that ecosystem.

Tavo vs Hudl

Tavo is a standalone AI volleyball app with self-serve individual and team pricing. Hudl is a broader video platform: capture, livestreaming, analysis and recruiting, with volleyball AI coming from Balltime and Volleymetrics, and team pricing by quote. If you want a single-purpose stats-and-highlights app you can buy online, Tavo is the simpler purchase. If you want livestreaming, department-wide video and recruiting tools in one vendor, Hudl is the broader suite. SportsVisio sits in the first camp on workflow (upload video, get a box score and highlights back) with published team pricing, and it does not claim Hudl’s livestreaming suite or Balltime’s speed and jump metrics.

Balltime alternatives

If you are looking past Balltime, the practical alternatives are other AI-from-video tools and, for some programs, pro scouting software.

• Tavo — a self-serve AI volleyball app for stats, highlights and match analysis, with published individual and team prices.
• SportsVisio — AI volleyball box scores, per-stat clips and a highlight reel for every player, with published team pricing and a 1-month or 2-match trial. See SportsVisio volleyball and current pricing.
• Pro scouting tools such as DataVolley — a fit when you have a trained analyst and want deep manual coding. These are a different job from automatic highlights.
• Video platforms with analysis add-ons — including live-streaming tools. For a side-by-side of stats-and-highlights versus accessible live streaming, see SportsVisio vs SidelineHD.

Where SportsVisio fits

SportsVisio is built for clubs and schools that want a usable box score and player value from the same upload, without staffing an analyst. You get a team and player box score — kills, digs, blocks, aces, assists, reception, attack attempt percentages, total points and all errors — with a video clip attached to every stat, full game video, and a highlight reel for every player, typically within 24 hours of upload.

You can film on any device, including a phone, from a stable, elevated spot behind the end line so the full court stays in frame. Volleyball Base is $174 a month for 5 games, then pay per game. The free trial is 1 month or 2 matches, whichever comes first. Custom pricing is available for leagues, tournaments and multi-team clubs, and camera packages are available if you want capture bundled with the plan.

Honest trade-offs: SportsVisio does not claim serve-speed or vertical-jump metrics, and Coach Mode for volleyball is coming soon, so do not treat advanced coach tools as available for volleyball today.

How to choose

Four questions usually settle it.

1. Who uploads every week? If a coach or a rotating parent has to make it happen, pick the lowest-friction upload-and-return loop.
2. Are the main users players or coaches? Individual recruiting tools (Balltime’s Recruiting plan, Tavo’s individual plan) fit an athlete-led workflow. A team box score plus every-player reels (SportsVisio) fits a program-led workflow.
3. Do you need recruiting metrics such as serve speed and jump height, or a team box score? Balltime lists serve, attack and set speeds and vertical jump detection. SportsVisio lists standard box-score stats with a clip on every number, and does not list those extra metrics.
4. Do you want published team pricing, or a quote? Tavo and SportsVisio publish team prices. Hudl team plans for Balltime are by quote.

What that looks like in a real season

Trinity Christian School head coach Lindsay Foley describes the loop working as intended:

“We played a team early in the season and lost pretty badly. After reviewing the stats, we realized their strongest server was targeting our weaker receivers. For the next game, we adjusted the rotation — and we won!”

The stats were not the point, the rotation change was. Read the full story: From Good to Great: Coach Lindsay’s Volleyball Success with SportsVisio.
