Hudl + XCIV.ai

Can you use Hudl and AI scouting software together?

Yes — keep Hudl for film exchange; add XCIV.ai for the scout, the game plan, and the practice plan. Hudl captures, hosts, and trades video. XCIV.ai is coaching intelligence: upload a box score, a scorebook photo, or your film notes and it builds the opponent scouting report, the game plan, and Thursday's practice. The two run side by side with no overlap. XCIV.ai is not a Hudl replacement — it's the layer after the film.

The split

Film (Hudl) vs coaching intelligence (XCIV.ai)

Different jobs, different inputs, different outputs. That's why they stack instead of compete.

Not a Hudl replacement. Video stays on Hudl; intelligence lives on XCIV.ai.

Side by side

How programs run both

  1. 1

    Film the game on Hudl.

    Nothing changes. Capture, upload, exchange film with opponents the way you do now.

  2. 2

    Drop the box score into XCIV.ai.

    Photo of the scorebook, a PDF, or a stat sheet. Add the notes you took while watching film.

  3. 3

    Get the scout and game plan.

    Key threats, tendencies, and three keys to the game — structured and shareable with your staff.

  4. 4

    Run Thursday’s practice from it.

    XCIV.ai builds the practice plan from the gaps the scout surfaced. Film stays on Hudl.

Hudl + XCIV.ai, answered

Common questions

Can I use Hudl and AI scouting software together?+
Yes. Hudl handles film capture, hosting, and exchange. XCIV.ai handles the coaching intelligence — the scouting report, game plan, and practice plan. The two don't overlap, so most programs run both.
Is XCIV.ai a Hudl replacement?+
No. XCIV.ai does not capture, host, or exchange video. Keep Hudl for film. XCIV.ai is the layer that turns what you know about an opponent into a plan.
How is Hudl FastScout or FastIntelligence different from XCIV.ai?+
FastScout is Hudl's scouting and practice-planning suite with video integration; FastIntelligence is its AI sidebar, which surfaces tendencies from tagged play-type data. XCIV.ai starts from your own box score, scorebook photo, or notes and turns them into a scouting report, game plan, and practice plan — no film or tagged video required. If you already watch Hudl film, add what you saw into XCIV.ai too.
What if I don't have film on my next opponent?+
That's where XCIV.ai is built to work. A box score or a photo of the scorebook is enough to generate a scout and game plan. See the sample report for exactly what comes out.
What does it cost to add XCIV.ai next to Hudl?+
XCIV.ai starts free. Paid plans are Basic $9, Varsity $19, and Staff $39 per month. Staff billed annually is $390/yr — about $1,110/yr less than Hudl's high school entry tier, and you keep Hudl.

Keep the film. Add the plan.
