LongoMatch

LongoMatch is a sports video analysis and team-planning suite built around coding match events, reviewing footage and sharing feedback. It suits coaches and teams that want analysis and training plans in one workflow. Its appeal is the breadth of those tools; its main trade-off is that useful scale quickly moves beyond the tightly capped free plan.

Overview

LongoMatch combines live or recorded match analysis with team management and training preparation. Analysts can mark events during a game, draw on footage, and use statistics covering event locations, player data, possession, fouls and assists. Longoboard adds training-session planning and tactical diagrams, while Longocloud provides a place for teams to share files and feedback.

The product supports sports including football, rugby, hockey, handball, baseball, basketball and volleyball. Its desktop minimums are macOS Monterey 12 and Windows 10 version 1809. Longoboard requires iPadOS/iOS 12.2 or later on iPad and Android 14 or later. The company identifies Fluendo VAS S.L. as responsible for personal-data processing and says it follows GDPR and Spain’s Organic Law 3/2018. LongoMatch no longer offers or maintains its Open Source version, and says it will not issue further updates for it.

Key features

Match review and analysis

Event coding during live or recorded games, drawing annotations and custom labels give coaches a way to connect observations to specific moments in footage. LongoMatch says it can analyze up to four videos at once and switch between camera angles, a useful capability for teams comparing perspectives. Multicamera support is a Pro feature, so it is not part of the cheaper Starter tier.

Planning and collaboration

Longoboard supports session planning, tactical diagrams and sharing plans as native files, images, video or PDF. Longocloud adds tagging, comments, shareable statistics and team management alongside sharing video and LongoMatch files. These tools make the suite more compelling for coordinated coaching than for someone who only needs to mark up a clip.

Exports and support

Pro includes Excel export, XML import and export, presentations and Longocloud compatibility. Basic and Starter list personalized support; Pro lists remote technical assistance. Those support options matter most to teams relying on analysis in their regular workflow, though the higher tiers carry a substantial price step.

Pricing

LongoMatch is freemium, with a 15-day trial and paid plans starting at €12.50/mo (annual). The plan page gives both monthly prices and annual billing totals; annual equivalents below reflect the displayed prices.

• Longomatch Basic: free. It allows 5 projects, 2 teams, 1 dashboard and 50 events per project, and adds a non-removable watermark. It is a way to try basic workflows, but the project and event caps make it a poor fit for ongoing team analysis.
• Longoboard: €1.95 a month, with annual payment of 19.95€ and an annual price shown as 1.66€ per month. It includes unlimited teams and tasks, training sessions and PDF export. This is the focused choice for planning sessions rather than analyzing matches.
• Longomatch Starter: €15 a month, with annual payment of 150€ and an annual price shown as 12,50€ per month. It removes project, team, dashboard and event limits and adds live analysis with webcam, HDMI and IP camera. Pick it for regular analysis that does not require Pro’s listed multicamera and export features.
• Longomatch Pro: €55 a month, with annual payment of 550€ and an annual price shown as 45,84€ per month. Presentations, multicamera, Excel export, XML import/export and Longocloud compatibility target teams with more demanding review and handoff needs.
• Longocloud Team: €120 a month, with annual payment of 828€ and an annual monthly price shown as 69€. It includes one Longomatch Pro license, one Longoboard license, 50 cloud users, 50 GB storage and one team. It suits a single team needing both software licenses and shared cloud space.
• Longocloud Club: €150 a month; the annual discount is shown as 41%, with an annual monthly price of 89€. It includes one Pro and one Longoboard license, 300–1000 cloud users, 300–1000 GB storage and unlimited teams. The expanded user and storage range is aimed at clubs managing multiple teams.

Personalized support is listed for Basic and Starter, with remote technical assistance for Pro. The paid analysis tiers are a marked jump from the free plan; teams that only need session planning can avoid that cost with Longoboard.

Platforms

LongoMatch lists Android, iOS, macOS, web and Windows. Check the stated minimum operating-system requirements before choosing it, particularly for Longoboard on Android, which requires Android 14 or later.

Who it's for

LongoMatch is best suited to coaches and sports teams that need to connect match footage with event data, training plans and shared feedback. Starter fits teams wanting unlimited analysis projects and live camera input; Pro is the stronger fit when multicamera review, presentations and structured exports matter. Longoboard alone makes more sense for planning-focused users. The Basic plan is better treated as a constrained entry point than a full-time solution.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Match coding, drawing annotations, custom labels and player-focused statistics put video observations in a structured context.
• Pro: Longoboard and Longocloud extend the workflow from analysis to planning and team feedback, rather than stopping at clip annotation.
• Pro: Support for multiple named sports and up to four simultaneous videos suits varied team-review needs.
• Con: Basic caps projects, teams, dashboards and events, and its watermark cannot be removed, limiting its usefulness for sustained analysis.
• Con: Multicamera, Excel and XML features are reserved for Pro, so teams needing those tools face a considerable tier increase over Starter.
• Con: The former Open Source version is no longer maintained, so users looking for an actively supported open-source edition should look elsewhere.

Alternatives

For a broader set of options, browse Video Annotation Software.

• Onform is a freemium option with a free plan and trial across Android, iOS, web and Windows; choose it if its coach-connected free workflow for reviewing shared videos and recording personal videos fits better.
• BORIS is free and open-source under GNU GPL v.3, with Android, Linux, macOS, self-hosted and Windows platforms; choose it if an open-source alternative is the priority.
• Frame.io has a free plan with up to two members, 2GB storage, 2GB Mounted Storage and up to two projects, plus Camera to Cloud, transcription and captions; consider it when those collaboration and media features suit the job.
• FrameQuery offers a free plan with metadata search and local, Drive or NAS sharing and backup, but no monthly indexing hours; choose it when metadata search and storage workflows matter more than LongoMatch’s sports-analysis and training tools.
• Label Studio is a freemium option with a free Community Edition; consider it as an alternative if its labeling workflow is a better fit.
• InqScribe is a freemium macOS and Windows option with free and paid licenses; consider it if its transcription-focused workflow fits your needs.
• MAXQDA is a paid macOS and Windows product with a free trial; consider it for a different analysis workflow.
• Roboflow offers a free tier with 10 monthly credits, described as enough to train about 30 models or run 80,000 inferences; choose it for that model-training and inference use case rather than sports-team video review.

Verdict

Choose LongoMatch if you coach or manage a team and want match analysis, training planning and collaboration connected in one suite. Its strongest reason to buy is that combination, with Starter covering unlimited analysis and Pro adding multicamera and export tools. Look elsewhere if you need an actively maintained open-source version or only occasional, lightly capped video review; Basic’s limits and watermark are hard to ignore for regular use.
