PlayState and Veo, row by row.
PlayState
A live score and stats app for youth soccer. One parent logs the game on a phone, and family follow it live in any browser while every player’s stats add up across the season. It doesn’t film the game. One parent’s plan, from $6.99 a month or $48.99 a year, covers up to 3 teams; following is free.
Veo
An AI camera on a tripod that films the whole game and clips goals and shots automatically after the upload. Teams and clubs buy the $1,299 camera and a plan from $999 a year; livestreams and player stats are add-ons. Veo Go films with two iPhones on a rig instead.

Where PlayState is stronger
- Cost. One plan for the team, from $6.99 a month or $48.99 a year, against a $1,299 camera and a plan from $999 a year.
- Setup. A phone in hand, not a camera on a tripod and an upload after the game.
- During the game. The full play-by-play with a free account, not a livestream only when someone has set one up.
- Stats included. More than 30 stats for every player and the team, xG and xA included, from what you log. Veo’s player stats need the Analytics add-on.
- Who did what. A parent who knows every player logs each goal and assist; Veo’s software works it out from video.
Where Veo is stronger
- Video of the whole game, to rewatch and share
- Goals and shots clipped automatically
- Livestreams, with the Veo Live add-on
Yes. They don’t connect, but one parent can log the game in PlayState while Veo films it: family follow the game while it happens, and the video comes later.
No. PlayState uses events you record from the sideline on your phone. There’s no video camera to set up.
PlayState is for soccer: 11v11, 9v9, 7v7, 5v5, 3v3, and futsal games. Each format gets its own pitch, markings, and formations, and xG is worked out for its pitch and goal size. Play two halves or three periods, as long as your league plays them, with extra time and penalty shootouts when a game needs them.
Shared live game links open in any browser, with no account or app download, and show supporters the whole game: the score, game clock, full play-by-play, and stats. A free account adds team following and game notifications.
Keep logging. Events, substitutions, and the game clock keep going on your phone, and everything sends by itself, in order, when the signal comes back. Supporters catch up then; while the signal is weak, they see a note that updates may be delayed. Open the game before you lose signal; the page can’t load without one.
