ReplayR vs OnForm

By

TL;DR. The structural difference: OnForm is a cloud platform, ReplayR is private by construction, on-device only, no account, no upload. OnForm is the analysis platform that absorbed Hudl Technique's users; it is built around telestration on the clip, side-by-side comparison, and coach-athlete feedback threads, sold on a monthly subscription for individuals in 2026. ReplayR is a capture app first: a rolling buffer that saves the last 45 seconds (up to 12 minutes with Pro) at a tap, watch press, or open-palm gesture, free with a one-time unlock. Since August 2026 Pro also covers the review end, frame-by-frame stepping to 0.1× and drawing on a frame, on-device. OnForm still owns comparison and commentary; ReplayR makes sure you have the footage in the first place. Start with ReplayR: capture is the half that has to work live, and it costs nothing to try.

The verdict

Start with ReplayR

Capture is the half that has to work on the sideline, and it is the half you can have for free: rolling buffer, watch save, on-device, no account. Saved clips are standard MP4s, so you can always annotate elsewhere later if you ever need to.

Recommended

Pick ReplayR if…

  • You coach in the moment and want the rep on screen seconds after it happens.
  • You refuse to scrub a 2-hour recording to find 30 seconds of value.
  • You want no subscription: free tier plus a one-time Pro unlock.
  • Footage of minors or clients must stay on the device, no cloud, no account.
  • You train alone and need a watch tap or palm gesture to save the rep.

Pick OnForm if…

  • Your work is detailed one-to-one analysis: angle and distance measurement, side-by-side comparison, voice-over.
  • You run a remote coaching business and need feedback threads with clients.
  • You compare an athlete's attempt against a reference clip side by side.
  • A monthly fee is acceptable for a full lesson-delivery platform.

Can you use ReplayR and OnForm together?

The two apps sit at different ends of the same workflow. Capture with ReplayR: rolling buffer running, save only the attempts that matter, no dead footage on disk. Then import those MP4 clips into OnForm when a moment deserves drawing, side-by-side comparison, or a voice-over for a remote athlete. Coaches who bill for analysis time report the capture step is where most time is lost; fixing capture makes the paid analysis tool cheaper per useful clip.

FAQ

Is ReplayR a free OnForm alternative?

For sideline capture, yes. ReplayR's free tier covers the 45 second rolling buffer, Wear OS watch save, swipe review, and the trim editor, with a one-time Pro unlock for longer buffers, gesture save, frame-by-frame review and drawing on a frame. OnForm is a subscription analysis platform, billed monthly as of 2026. If what you need is telestration on a moving clip, side-by-side comparison, or coach-athlete messaging, OnForm still does things ReplayR does not.

How much does OnForm cost?

As of 2026, OnForm sells individual and coach plans on a monthly subscription, with client limits varying by tier. Quarterly and yearly billing is discounted. Check onform.com/pricing for current numbers. ReplayR is free with a one-time Pro unlock, no recurring fee.

Does OnForm have a rolling buffer like ReplayR?

No. OnForm follows the record-then-analyse model: you film a clip or import one, then annotate it. ReplayR records continuously into a temporary buffer and keeps only the moments you save, so you never chase a record button and never scrub dead footage.

Can I use ReplayR and OnForm together?

Yes, and it is a strong combination. Capture with ReplayR on the sideline, then import the saved MP4 clips into OnForm for drawing, side-by-side comparison, and athlete feedback threads. You only annotate moments worth annotating.
