What JuniStat does

JuniStat is a sports technology SaaS company founded in 2020 that provides AI-powered smartphone-based football (soccer) talent identification and player development tools. The platform uses computer vision and machine learning to analyze smartphone video footage of football drills, tracking over 60 parameters of physical and technical performance across 15 standardized tests. The product suite consists of the JuniStat player mobile application (iOS/Android), the JuniCoach coach application, a web-based academy dashboard, and a JuniTrack sub-brand for digital performance tracking. Raw test results are aggregated through a proprietary hierarchical rating system that converts micro-skills into five core skills (Agility, Physical, Pace, Shooting, Dribbling) and an overall player rating, enabling cross-region benchmarking in an international talent database.

The company serves multiple customer segments: young football players and parents seeking objective skill ratings and scout visibility; football clubs, academies, and federations needing standardized player assessment and remote scouting tools; individual scouts requiring access to a searchable player database; and sponsors funding under-resourced players. Notable enterprise customers include West Ham United Foundation, PSG's U7–U11 youth program, Antalyaspor, and several Russian football academies (Zenit-Chempionika, Freedom QJ League, FC Chaika Academy).

JuniStat operates a subscription-based revenue model with tiered per-player organization pricing ($40–$50/player/year depending on player count), individual player subscriptions at $99/year, scout database access at 5 EUR/month, and sponsorship packages starting at 100 subscriptions. Distribution is a hybrid of product-led growth (self-serve mobile app with free trial of 15 tests) and enterprise field sales (direct sales to clubs and academies). The company is incorporated as JuniStat Corp in Delaware, USA, with an operating entity OOO Yunistat in Moscow, Russia, and serves multiple language markets (English, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese). As of 2025, the platform reports 100,000+ young players using the service worldwide.

Core offering

JuniStat provides a smartphone-based AI-powered football (soccer) testing and talent identification platform. It uses computer vision and machine learning to analyze video of player drills captured via a smartphone camera, converting raw footage into objective performance metrics across 60+ parameters aggregated into five core skills (Agility, Physical, Pace, Shooting, Dribbling) and an overall player rating. The platform consists of the JuniStat player app, the JuniCoach coach app, and a shared web dashboard for clubs, academies, and scouts to track, benchmark, and remotely scout players globally.

Product overview

JuniStat is a digital football talent identification and development platform combining AI, computer vision, and AR technologies. The product portfolio consists of two cross-platform mobile applications — JuniStat (for players, parents, and representatives) and JuniCoach (for coaches and club/academy staff) — backed by a shared web dashboard. The system uses a smartphone camera to track over 60 physical and technical performance parameters through 14–15 individual drills, processing raw video through machine vision into micro-skills, then aggregating them into five core skills (Agility, Physical, Pace, Shooting, Dribbling) and an overall player rating. Players receive digital profile cards with objective ratings, a position in the international talent database, and the opportunity to be scouted online by clubs and scouts globally.

Emerging players

• STATSports: STATSports manufactures GPS player tracking vests and analytics dashboards for football academies and professional clubs. Comparable on athlete performance metrics and academy/customer overlap, but differentiated by its hardware-centric model versus JuniStat's hardware-free testing.
• Beyond Sports: Beyond Sports delivers AI-powered football analytics and simulated performance insights using tracking data. Comparable on the AI-driven football performance analytics value proposition, with overlap in club/federation customer base, though focused on data simulation rather than drill testing.
• Driblab: Driblab is a football data analytics company providing advanced metrics and recruitment support to clubs, agents, and federations. Comparable on the scouting/talent ID value proposition for JuniStat's academy and scout customers, though Driblab focuses more on match data than standardized testing.
• InStat: InStat provides football video analysis, statistics, and scouting tools to clubs, federations, and media. Comparable on football-specific video-based player analysis for clubs, with a longer track record but more traditional manual tagging workflows versus JuniStat's AI approach.

Broad incumbents

• Hudl: Hudl is the dominant video analysis and scouting platform across football and other sports, serving elite clubs, federations, and college programs. Overlaps with JuniStat on video-based talent identification and academy workflows, but at vastly larger scale and broader sport coverage.
• Catapult Sports: Catapult provides wearable GPS tracking and athlete monitoring solutions used by elite football clubs and federations. Comparable on athlete performance measurement but serves the pro/elite tier with hardware-dependent solutions rather than JuniStat's smartphone approach.
• Kinexon: Kinexon provides real-time indoor and outdoor player and ball tracking for elite sports teams, including football. Overlaps with JuniStat on performance analytics for clubs, but uses ultra-wideband sensors rather than smartphone video and focuses on the professional tier.
• Wyscout: Wyscout (now part of Hudl) operates a global football scouting database with player videos and performance data. Directly comparable on the scouting and talent identification use case that JuniStat targets, but at much greater scale and with traditional video scouting workflows.

Direct peers

• SkillCorner: SkillCorner uses AI to extract football tracking data from broadcast video for clubs and leagues. Comparable to JuniStat in applying computer vision to democratize football performance data, though SkillCorner focuses on match tracking rather than drill-based testing.
• Veo Technologies: Veo's AI-powered cameras automatically capture and analyze football match footage for clubs and academies. Directly comparable to JuniStat on AI video-based performance analysis, though Veo focuses on match footage while JuniStat focuses on standardized testing drills.
