With a verifiable source on every number." slug: "pricing-grid" date: "2026-04-25" author: "Akshay Sarode" category: "Comparison" schema: "Article" competitor: "All vendors" competitorUrl: "https://acesense.io/compare" faq: - q: "Which tennis AI app has the cheapest free tier?" a: "AceSense's free tier delivers a full per-shot report on short videos with no card required. SwingVision has a limited free tier. PB Vision has a free tier focused on its target sport. OnForm and TopCourt are paid-only." - q: "Is annual billing always cheaper than monthly?" a: "Usually, but not always usefully. SwingVision Plus annual is $95.99 vs $14.99/mo (saving $84/yr). AceSense Pro at €19/mo is the same on annual. TopCourt is annual-only at $180/yr, there's no monthly option to compare." - q: "What's the cheapest way to try AI tennis analysis?" a: "AceSense free tier, €0, no card. Upload one match, get a real per-shot report. If it's useful, upgrade to Pro at €19/mo. If not, you've lost nothing." - q: "Why is SwingVision so much more expensive than AceSense?" a: "Tier-stacking. SwingVision splits features across three tiers, the most accurate line calling and 4K capture is Max ($39.99/mo, ≈$400/yr). AceSense doesn't split features by tier; the AI is the same on free, Pro, and Team." - q: "Why is Baseline Vision in this grid if it costs €1,800?" a: "Because it's a real option that some clubs and serious players consider. The pricing tells the story: hardware + subscription is a different economic model from a phone app." cta: primary: "Try AceSense free on iOS and Android" secondary: "Compare features" --- # Tennis AI app pricing in 2026: full vendor grid Tennis-AI pricing in 2026 is a mess. Different billing units (monthly, annual, hardware-plus-subscription), different currencies, different "what's actually included on this tier." This page is the cleanest side-by-side we could build, with a source URL on every number. Updated with each pricing change. ## TL;DR: the headline grid | Vendor | Free tier | Entry paid | Top tier | Annual top | Source | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | **AceSense** | Yes | €19/mo Pro | €49/mo Team | €228/yr Pro | This site | | **SwingVision** | Limited | $14.99/mo Plus | $39.99/mo Max | ~$400/yr Max | [SourceForge](https://sourceforge.net/software/product/SwingVision/), [Tennisnerd](https://www.tennisnerd.net/tennis-tools/swingvision-review-and-interview/25702) | | **OnForm** | No | $9.99/mo Athlete | $59.99/mo Coach | – | [onform.com](https://onform.com/pricing/) | | **TopCourt** | No | – (annual-only) | $180/yr | $180/yr | [My Tennis Lessons](https://mytennislessons.com/tennis-blog/2020-topcourt-review) | | **Baseline Vision** | No | Hardware + sub | Hardware + sub | ~€1,800 hw | [TennisLeo](https://www.tennisleo.com/baseline-vision-review/) | | **PB Vision** | Yes | Vendor-specific | Vendor-specific | – | [pb.vision](https://pb.vision) | Currency note: SwingVision and OnForm bill USD. AceSense bills EUR. TopCourt bills USD. Baseline Vision is European-priced (EUR). ## AceSense pricing in plain English - **Free**, €0. Full per-shot report on short videos (under a few minutes). One court at a time. No credit card. - **Pro**, **€19/mo** or **€228/yr**. Unlimited match length, full feature set, async coach share. - **Team**, **€49/mo**. Multi-coach seats, async review workflow, team dashboards. The same shot detection, ball tracking, court heatmap, and stroke-quality scoring runs on every tier. Free is rate-limited by video length, not by feature. ## SwingVision pricing in plain English Sources: [SourceForge listing](https://sourceforge.net/software/product/SwingVision/), [Tennisnerd review](https://www.tennisnerd.net/tennis-tools/swingvision-review-and-interview/25702). - **Plus**, **$14.99/mo** or **$95.99/yr** (≈$8/mo annualised). HD recording. - **Pro**, **$24.99/mo**. More cloud storage, more features. - **Max**, **$39.99/mo** (≈$400/yr). 4K capture, top-tier line calling. The Tennisnerd review's specific quote: > "the $150/year plan gets you HD recording, but 4K and more accurate line calling require paying $400 annually" > [Tennisnerd](https://www.tennisnerd.net/tennis-tools/swingvision-review-and-interview/25702) The implication for buyers: the entry tier is *not* the full product. If you're price-comparing AceSense Pro (€19/mo) against SwingVision, it's worth knowing what tier of SwingVision delivers what AceSense delivers at €19/mo. ## OnForm pricing in plain English Source: [onform.com/pricing](https://onform.com/pricing/). - **Athlete**, **$9.99–$14.99/mo**. Receiving coach feedback. - **Coach Solo**, **$19.99/mo**. Single-coach toolset. - **Coach Pro / Team**, up to **$59.99/mo**. Multi-coach, full analytics. OnForm's economic model: the coach pays the coach plan, athletes pay athlete-tier on top. If you don't have a coach, the athlete tier is cheap but the value is limited because the coach loop is what the platform optimises for. See the full [OnForm comparison](/compare/onform). ## TopCourt pricing in plain English Source: [My Tennis Lessons review](https://mytennislessons.com/tennis-blog/2020-topcourt-review). - **$180/year, annual billing only.** No monthly option. Reviewer's complaint: > "you can't pay monthly, but need to commit to a year" > [My Tennis Lessons](https://mytennislessons.com/tennis-blog/2020-topcourt-review) Different category, TopCourt is instructional video, not match analysis. See the [TopCourt comparison](/compare/topcourt). ## Baseline Vision pricing in plain English Source: [TennisLeo review](https://www.tennisleo.com/baseline-vision-review/). - **Hardware**: ~**€1,800** one-time. - **Subscription**: ongoing, vendor-specific tier. - **Install**: fence mount, mains power, network access. Different category, hardware-and-software, not a phone app. See the [Baseline Vision comparison](/compare/baseline-vision). ## PB Vision pricing in plain English PB Vision pricing changes frequently, confirm current figures at [pb.vision](https://pb.vision). It is the smaller paddle sport's analog of SwingVision; not a tennis tool. See the [PB Vision comparison](/compare/pb-vision). ## Five-year cost (individual amateur player) If you'll keep using one of these for five years, here's the rough total: | Vendor | 5-year cost | Note | |---|---|---| | **AceSense free** | €0 | If short-video tier is enough | | **AceSense Pro €19/mo** | €1,140 | Cancel any time | | **SwingVision Plus annual** | $480 | $95.99/yr × 5 | | **SwingVision Max annual** | ~$2,000 | If you want the full tier | | **OnForm Athlete** | $720 | $12/mo × 60, no coach loop | | **TopCourt** | $900 | $180/yr × 5 | | **Baseline Vision** | €1,800+ | Plus 5 years subscription | These aren't apples-to-apples, TopCourt is instruction, Baseline Vision is hardware, OnForm needs a coach to be useful, but it's the simplest framing of "what's the lifetime cost of this decision." ## What the pricing tells you about the products A few patterns are worth naming: - **Tier-stacking** (SwingVision). The "best" feature is on the most expensive tier. You can't price-compare the entry tier against single-tier competitors because you're not buying the same product. - **Annual lock-in** (TopCourt). Annual-only billing transfers risk to the buyer. If TopCourt's content doesn't fit you, you've already paid. - **Hardware capex** (Baseline Vision). Front-loaded cost makes sense for high-volume users (clubs); painful for individuals. - **Coach-dependency** (OnForm). The athlete tier is cheap because the platform's value depends on someone else paying for the coach plan. - **Single-tier feature parity** (AceSense). Same AI on every tier. The tier divides volume and team features, not "the AI we'd give you if you paid more." You can decide for yourself whether tier-stacking, annual lock-in, hardware capex, coach-dependency, or single-tier-flat is the model you want to buy into. ## Hidden costs to watch for Sticker price is the start, not the end. A few line items that show up in real billing: - **Tier upgrades for features you didn't expect to need.** SwingVision's 4K capture and "more accurate line calling" sit on the Max tier ([Tennisnerd](https://www.tennisnerd.net/tennis-tools/swingvision-review-and-interview/25702)). If you start on Plus and want those, the upgrade path is real money. - **Coach-plan dependency.** OnForm's athlete tier value depends on a coach having a coach plan. If your coach drops OnForm, your athlete subscription becomes much less useful. - **Hardware add-ons.** Baseline Vision is hardware-first; the camera is the line item, but mounts, network, and install labour can add to the real total. - **Annual lock-in.** TopCourt's $180/yr can't be tested with a single month. If the content doesn't fit your learning style, you've paid for a year before knowing. - **FX and currency.** Most competitors bill USD. EU buyers pay FX margin on every monthly charge. AceSense bills EUR, no FX layer for EU customers. ## Free-tier honest comparison A "free tier" only counts if you can actually use the product on it. | Vendor | Free tier | What's included | What's not | |---|---|---|---| | **AceSense** | Yes | Full per-shot report on short videos, all features, no card | Long full-match videos require Pro | | **SwingVision** | Limited | Some video imports, basic features | Most analysis features paywalled | | **PB Vision** | Yes (paddle sport) | Sport-specific limited tier | – | | **OnForm** | Trial only | – | Coach plan needed for full value | | **TopCourt** | No | – | Annual subscription required | | **Baseline Vision** | No | – | Hardware purchase required | If "I want to try this without committing" is your starting filter, AceSense or PB Vision (depending on sport) are the cleanest free-tier options. SwingVision's free tier exists but is limited enough that most users describe it as a trial. ## Currency, billing, and EU specifics EU buyers face friction with USD-billed competitors: - **FX margin.** Card networks add 1–3% on USD charges to EUR cards. On a $400/yr SwingVision Max plan that's an extra $4–12/yr you don't see in the price tag. - **VAT handling.** Some vendors collect EU VAT, others don't. If your card statement shows the gross USD amount, work out whether you've actually paid VAT. - **Data residency.** Most US-billed competitors host in the US. AceSense hosts in `europe-west1` (GDPR-friendly, EU data residency). - **Receipt language.** EU bookkeepers prefer EUR receipts. For an EU player, the "real" cost of a $14.99/mo SwingVision Plus plan is closer to €15–€16/mo after FX and any uncovered VAT. AceSense Pro at €19/mo is a flat number. ## What real users complain about **SwingVision pricing tiers:** > "the $150/year plan gets you HD recording, but 4K and more accurate line calling require paying $400 annually" > [Tennisnerd](https://www.tennisnerd.net/tennis-tools/swingvision-review-and-interview/25702) **TopCourt billing model:** > "you can't pay monthly, but need to commit to a year" > [My Tennis Lessons](https://mytennislessons.com/tennis-blog/2020-topcourt-review) **Baseline Vision hardware connection:** > "if the phone gets too far from the camera, the connection drops" > [TennisLeo](https://www.tennisleo.com/baseline-vision-review/) These are not gotcha quotes, they're the real friction points buyers describe. We're sharing them because the pricing decision is rarely just about the price tag; it's about what you actually get for it. ## FAQ **Cheapest free tier?** AceSense, full per-shot report on short videos, no card. **Is annual always cheaper?** Usually monthly-to-annual saves ~30–40%.
