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.
| Film — Hudl | Coaching intelligence — XCIV.ai | |
|---|---|---|
| Job | Capture, host, tag, and exchange game film | Turn what you know about an opponent into a scout, game plan, and practice plan |
| Inputs | Game video | Box scores, scorebook photos, PDFs, stat sheets, voice notes, or what you saw on film |
| Outputs | Clips, playlists, breakdowns, highlight reels | Scouting report, game plan, practice plan, per-player development plan |
| Needs film? | Yes — video is the product | No — works from a box score alone; uses film notes when you have them |
| Best at | Film exchange, video library, recruiting exposure | The “then what” — the plan your players run Friday |
| Starting price | About $1,500/yr (HS entry tier) | Free · Basic $9 · Varsity $19 · Staff $39 /mo |
Not a Hudl replacement. Video stays on Hudl; intelligence lives on XCIV.ai.
Side by side
How programs run both
- 1
Film the game on Hudl.
Nothing changes. Capture, upload, exchange film with opponents the way you do now.
- 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
Get the scout and game plan.
Key threats, tendencies, and three keys to the game — structured and shareable with your staff.
- 4
Run Thursday’s practice from it.
XCIV.ai builds the practice plan from the gaps the scout surfaced. Film stays on Hudl.
