The Side-by-Side
Eight dimensions. Read every row.
| Dimension | Prospecta | SportsRecruits |
|---|---|---|
| Core product | AI Reality Report + drafted per-program outreach for the family. | Recruiting platform typically deployed through a club or high-school program; family access is often via club subscription.¹ |
| Up-front cost | $0 to start. Free 6-minute assessment, no card. | Not published for individual families on their public site; access commonly bundled through a club — ask your club or SportsRecruits for a current quote.¹ |
| Ongoing cost | $39 / month or $349 / year. Cancel anytime. | Subscription pricing tied to the club or organization contract, not a self-serve family checkout.¹ |
| Honest division verdict | Benchmarked D1 / D2 / D3 / NAIA / JUCO verdict in the free report. | Focuses on outreach + coach discovery tools; no published stand-alone division verdict. |
| Outreach | Per-program emails drafted from your metrics; you review and send. | In-platform coach messaging with templates; families or club staff typically write copy. |
| Who's it built for | Parents and athletes who want the truth and will do the work themselves. | Club directors and program-affiliated athletes who want centralized recruiting workflow. |
| What you walk away with | Reality Score, Reach / Target / Likely list, 30 / 90 / 365 plan, outreach you actually sent. | A managed profile, a coach messaging inbox, and reports for the club/family. |
| Cancel terms | Cancel in two clicks. Monthly stops at period end; annual runs through the year. | Governed by the club's SportsRecruits contract; individual families don't always control cancellation. |
The Honest Take
If your club already bought it, use it. Just know what it doesn't do.
SportsRecruits is a solid workflow platform if your club or school hands you a login. You get a managed profile, a coach messaging inbox, and reports that make the club director's life easier.
It's not a Reality Report. It won't tell you your athlete is a D3 kid when your club is quietly running the D1 pitch. And you don't control the subscription — your club does.
Use both if it helps: Prospecta for the honest verdict + drafted outreach; the club's platform for whatever the club uses it for. Just don't confuse workflow software for an unbiased opinion.
