//What decides it

Four things that matter to a player.

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.
Playermaker
Quick feedback on touches and speed, but it's a count, with no video of the moment.
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.

Questions, answered.

Something else? Write to us and a person replies.

  • Yes. 1st Touch works from the match footage instead of sensors: a trained analyst tags every action you make, live, and each one becomes a clip you can watch on your phone.

  • Sensors register contact with the ball, so they count touches and kicks well. Whether the pass reached a teammate, or the duel was won, needs someone watching. At 1st Touch an analyst records the outcome of every action, and a second person checks it.

  • Playermaker sells a sensor kit together with an app subscription, priced by region. 1st Touch prices per player and shows its prices: match packs from 70 € a match, or a membership for the whole season.

  • Request an invite. We check we can cover your league before you pay anything, and once you're in, your next match is analysed live.
