The short version
Veo is an AI camera that records and analyzes your games hands-free. CoAtch plans the season around those games and runs the coaching workflow alongside them. Different categories, made for each other.
What Veo is great at
- Hands-free game recording - the Veo Cam follows the ball automatically, no operator needed
- Auto-generated highlights and clips after every game
- Basic match analytics (heatmaps, ball touches, goal events)
- Cloud storage and easy sharing to players, parents, and recruiters
- For any club that previously had no game film, this is a transformative product
What CoAtch is built for
The system around the camera. The plan, the practice, the lineup, the in-game tracking, the season-long view that Veo doesn't reach into.
- Season periodization - 4-row gantt timeline mapping training phase, technical, tactical, and physical focus across the whole season
- Practice builder - session wizard with an activity library across 8 categories, opponent-aware suggestions (PhaseContext)
- Lineup creator - drag-and-drop formations across 11v11, 9v9, 7v7, 5v5, with tactical line overlays
- Live match tracking - per-player events (goals, assists, cards, subs, saves) logged in real time by the coach, with xG calculated automatically
- Opponent scouting - structured scouting sections that feed back into your practice plan
- Player evaluations - 23 fields across Technical, Tactical, Psychological, and Physical domains, dated over time
- Tactical whiteboard - SVG board with players, arrows, zones, animation, and WebM video export
- Tap In AI import - paste or photograph a practice plan or roster, it builds the content for you

When to use which (or both)
Get Veo if you need recording. There's nothing else like it for clubs and high schools that don't have a videographer at every game.
Get CoAtch for the planning, lineup, and season-system layer that Veo doesn't touch.
Together: Veo records the game and surfaces the visual story. CoAtch holds the plan around it - the periodized week leading in, the lineup at kickoff, the live in-game events the coach logs from the sideline, the evaluation conversation in the offseason.
The honest answer
Different categories. Veo replaces a videographer. CoAtch replaces six spreadsheets and a notes app. If your budget covers both, they cover the full season cycle from planning through capture through reflection.
