Blast Softball comes with a free Basic experience built into the app, plus an optional Premium tier through a Blast Connect subscription that unlocks advanced training and coaching tools.
Basic Service (Free)
The Basic, free tier of the Blast Softball app lets you attach your sensor, capture swing metrics, and view your core performance data right on your phone or tablet — no subscription required.
Premium Service (Blast Connect)
Blast Connect adds a premium services subscription on top of the base app, with tools built for players, parents, coaches, and academies:
- Advanced Metrics and personalized improvement insights
- Coaching Feedback from instructors reviewing your swing
- Video Analysis & Sharing, including cloud-based storage for data and video
- Roster Management, Reporting & Scheduling for coaches and teams
- Player Recruiting tools for team and academy accounts
- Custom Academy Portal for organizations managing multiple coaches
Which One Should You Choose?
If you just want to track your own swing metrics, the free Basic service covers the core experience. If you want deeper trend analysis, coach feedback, cloud video storage, or team/roster management, a Blast Connect Premium subscription (Player, Coach, or Academy package) is the better fit.
