sidelineHD
Your kid's highlights shouldn't be behind a paywall.
sidelineHD streams free. Then the clips of your own child cost $5.99 a month, or $249.99 a year if the team covers the roster.
We do not sell your kid back to you.
The part that surprised us
Privacy costs $5.99 a month.
For baseball, softball and volleyball, making your child's clips private is a paid feature.
PRO Subscription Requirement: For sports that are no longer in beta, a sidelinePRO subscription is required to adjust these settings.
A parent who wants their child's clips kept out of public view has to claim the player with a phone number, then subscribe. Unclaimed kids inherit whatever the team set.
What you get instead
One price. Nothing gated.
-
Nothing is behind a subscription for the family.
No clip fee, no claimed player threshold, no parent left out because they never tapped a text message.
-
The scoreboard is in the recording.
sidelineHD’s own docs describe their local file as “a clean copy, as if it were recorded with your device’s native camera app,” with no scoreboard overlay or graphics. Ours has the scoreboard on it, because that is the point of a scoreboard.

-
Your stream, not ours.
The sidelineHD logo sits in the corner of every stream and a sidelineHD QR card takes over for 30 seconds during breaks, on every plan they sell. CineSportCam Pro removes our watermark entirely, or replaces it with your team’s logo.
-
Stream anywhere.
Twitch, your league’s RTMP server, several at once. sidelineHD goes to their player, YouTube and Facebook. That is the list.
-
Nobody installs anything to score.
Their setup starts with download the sidelineHD app. Ours opens a browser and takes a five character code.
-
Cancel in one tap.
Theirs asks for cancellation 48 hours before the billing date, limits refunds to three days, and says the team plan “cannot be cancelled.” We sell through the App Store.
