Honest tradeoffs
Where Baseball AI loses on purpose
- ×No sensor bat speed. Blast Motion measures bat speed with hardware. We score mechanics from phone video only.
- ×No VR pitch tunnel. WIN Reality TrainVR needs a headset. We stay on the phone for cage and backyard film.
- ×No pitching analysis yet. Hitting film → feedback → drill is the loop today.

FAQ
Common questions
What is the best baseball swing analysis app without buying a sensor?
Phone-only options in this matrix include Baseball AI, V1 Baseball, and Mind & Muscle. Baseball AI starts free with 2 analyses, then Athlete at $9.99/mo, with mechanical feedback and a next drill.
Does Baseball AI measure bat speed?
No. Baseball AI scores mechanics from phone video. Sensor bat speed is an honest loss versus Blast Motion.
How does Parent pricing work on Baseball AI?
Parent ($14.99/mo or $139.99/yr) is a separate Parent-account tier that includes athlete-tier swing analysis for your linked children. Those child uploads do not require a separate $9.99 Athlete subscription. Athlete ($9.99/mo or $84.99/yr) is for a player's own account. Parent is not an add-on that stacks on top of a required Athlete sub for the same child workflow.
