What football film breakdown costs in 2026
Published prices, side by side, taken from each company’s own pricing page on 29 September 2026.
“Film breakdown” means two different jobs. Cutting turns a whole game into one clip per play. Tagging marks each play with down, distance, formation and result. Most of the money in football video goes on platforms that bundle both with hosting and sharing. If the part that eats your Sunday is the cutting, you do not have to pay for the bundle to get rid of it.

If your film lives on an iPhone, iPad or Mac, AutoCut Football costs the least over a short season. SnapToTackle is the only one here you can pay for one game at a time — no subscription, nothing to install — and its software runs on Windows. The platforms do things it does not: Hudl and QwikCut host and share your film, and their breakdown services tag down, distance and formation. SnapToTackle only cuts. If the cutting is what you need done, you are paying the platforms for the rest.
Doing it yourself by hand is free and costs two to three hours a game — the guide to breaking down film goes through that honestly.
What you get for $15
- One clip per play, snap to whistle, cut from your original at full quality. A kneel is three seconds and a kickoff return is fifteen.
- The whole game as one video, with the huddles, timeouts and dead time taken out.
- A spreadsheet of every play: where it is in the game, how long it runs, whether it was a run, a pass or a kick, and a one-line description.
- Usually back within the hour. Your film is deleted as soon as the clips are made.
- Ordinary MP4 files, so they go wherever you already keep film — including a platform, if you have one.
Why it costs this little
Nobody at SnapToTackle watches your film. Software finds each snap and each whistle and cuts the game there, so a game costs us some computer time rather than an evening of somebody’s work — and it does less than a platform, on purpose: no hosting, no stats, no sharing. That is the whole reason the price is what it is.
It is judging video with a statistical model, and those are occasionally wrong, so check the clips before you build a game plan on them.
