iScore Sports

What iScore Sports does

iScore Sports, operating under the legal entity Faster Than Monkeys, is a Los Alamitos, California-based mobile software company founded in 2009 that develops iOS-native scorekeeping applications for baseball/softball, basketball, football, and soccer. Its products enable coaches, parents, league officials, and fans to capture detailed play-by-play game data via mobile devices, producing comprehensive statistical outputs (up to 500+ tracked stats per game in baseball), pitch-by-pitch location and speed tracking, heat maps, and shot charts. The company operates an iScorecast live-feed feature that allows remote viewers to follow games in real time without video streaming, and a companion viewer application called iScore Central with a freemium premium tier.

The technology stack is built around native iOS applications for iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Mac, and Apple Vision, with cloud synchronization for scorecasts and data backup, Bluetooth peer-to-peer device transfer, and an XML-based Team Website API for third-party developer access. iScore monetizes through three revenue streams: one-time App Store purchases (~$9.99 per sport), a $19.99-per-team-per-year Team Websites subscription that creates customizable team web pages with embeddable statistics, and iScore Central Premium subscriptions at $1.99/month or $19.99/year. Distribution is global via the Apple App Store in 8 languages, with integration partnerships including MaxPreps (for U.S. high school stat submission) and Twitter (for in-game social updates).

The customer base spans youth and amateur leagues (primary), high school and college programs (primary), professional organizations (testimonial-level, e.g., New York Mets minor league operations), and parents/family members consuming live scorecasts. The company was previously operated under Sports Illustrated Play from 2012 to 2018 before transitioning to its current independent developer entity. Revenue, funding, and ownership details are not publicly disclosed, and no venture capital or institutional investment activity appears in the available data.

Regional players

• PrestoSports: PrestoSports provides athletic department websites, statistics, and content tools for college sports programs in North America. Overlaps with iScore's Team Websites and statistics products at the collegiate level but with a focus on web publishing rather than live scorekeeping.

Broad incumbents

• Hudl: Hudl is the dominant video analysis and performance platform for amateur and professional sports teams. While focused on video rather than live scorekeeping, it overlaps with iScore's performance analysis positioning and serves the same high school and college sports segments.
• Genius Sports: Genius Sports is a sports data and technology company providing real-time data feeds, officiating, and sportsbook content to professional leagues and betting operators. While operating at a different scale, it represents the professional sports data infrastructure that iScore aspires to serve at the amateur level.
• Catapult Sports: Catapult Sports provides athlete tracking and performance analytics for professional and elite teams. Operates in a higher tier of the market but addresses similar performance analysis use cases that iScore targets at the amateur level.

Direct peers

• TeamSnap: TeamSnap is a team management platform for youth sports with scheduling, communication, and roster tools. While not primarily a scorekeeping product, it competes for the same youth sports coaches and parents with broader administrative functionality.
• GameChanger: GameChanger (owned by DICK's Sporting Goods) is the leading mobile scorekeeping and live game-streaming platform for youth and amateur sports. Directly competes with iScore across baseball, basketball, football, and soccer with freemium pricing and stronger video streaming capabilities.

Emerging players

• Veo Technologies: Veo provides AI-powered sports video recording and analysis with auto-tracking cameras for amateur sports teams. Represents the technological evolution of sports performance analysis that could disrupt traditional scorekeeping products like iScore.
• LeagueApps: LeagueApps provides league and tournament management software for youth and recreational sports organizations. While focused on registration and league operations, it competes for the same sports organizer customer base that iScore's Team Websites product targets.
• Krossover (now part of Hudl): Originally a video breakdown and stats platform for high school and college teams, Krossover was acquired by Hudl. It overlaps with iScore's player evaluation and statistics use cases for amateur sports programs.

Others

• MaxPreps: MaxPreps is the leading high school sports statistics and content platform. iScore integrates with MaxPreps via free export functionality, but MaxPreps' owned-and-operated stat tracking competes with iScore for high school basketball statistics.
