The best soccer camera for most youth families and coaches is Trace: every rostered player gets their own highlights automatically, from $180 a year with the camera included.
Trace works for coaches and clubs too, with a coach playlist and tactical plays. Veo, Hudl and Pixellot cost far more in year one, XbotGo needs your phone and follows one view, and Spiideo only covers fields with installed cameras.
