1st Touch

Your personal match analyst. A trained analyst tags every action of your match live, and your stats, a clip of every action and a report land on your phone after full-time.

  • Human analyst, live
  • Every action clipped
  • Checked by a second person
  • Private by default
  • No filming needed

Choose 1st Touch when you want your match analysed for you, not a tool to analyse it yourself.

//What decides it

Four things that matter to a player.

01

Live analysis

1st Touch
An analyst tags your match while it is played. Your stats are ready as the match ends, and on live plans the full analysis is with you within the hour.
Metrica Sports
Nexus supports live coding, and the Nexus Live add-on streams to the bench. Someone on your side has to do the coding.
02

Accurate data

1st Touch
Every pass, duel and touch is tagged by a person who watched it happen, then checked by a second person before it reaches you.
Metrica Sports
Event data is as good as the person coding the match. Metrica's AI handles tracking and visuals, and GameCloud can flag key moments.
03

Player first, not club

1st Touch
Bought by you and built around you. Your record stays yours when you change club, and nobody sees it unless you share it.
Metrica Sports
Built for the analyst and the coaching staff. A player sees what they choose to present.
04

Vertical AI

1st Touch
Built for one sport and one player. Automation finds the broadcast and cuts every action into its own clip; a trained analyst makes every call about what you did.
Metrica Sports
AI tracking of players, ball and pitch for tactical visuals, across any football video you load.

  • Metrica Sports publishes its prices. PlayBase runs from €10 to €80 a month and Metrica Nexus from €60 to €300 a month, with discounts for 6-month and yearly billing. GameCloud processing is bought by the minute. 1st Touch prices per player and shows its prices: match packs from 70 € a match, or a membership for the whole season.

  • Partly. Its AI tracks players, the ball and the pitch so you can draw visuals on the video, and GameCloud's Smart Tagging picks out key moments. Coding the full event data is still done by the analyst using the software.

  • It's software for the person doing the analysis, usually a coach or analyst. A player who wants their own match broken down would need to source the video and code it. 1st Touch does that for you: a trained analyst tags every action of your match live, and you get stats, clips and a report.
