# Trace


> Trace is an automatic camera system and AI platform for youth soccer. The Trace camera films the entire field, and AI edits the footage into personalized highlights for every player on both teams — automatically.


Highlights are delivered in two views: **PlayerCam**, which zooms in 4x and centers a specific player throughout the action, and **GameCam**, a tactical wide-angle view of the whole field that also serves as the full game replay.


Trace is built with parents in mind, making it easy and enjoyable to watch the moments that matter most, while also offering advanced features and views for coaches to analyze performance and strategy.


Our mission is to make it incredibly easy to get video of your kid playing soccer, with a flexible pricing model that fits real families. We believe every player should have access to highlights.


## Pricing


For individual families, the camera lease is free with an annual subscription and $99 with a monthly subscription. A subscription is required to access footage: Basic at $25/month or $180/year, and Pro at $35/month or $300/year. Parents from the same team can subscribe individually, whether it's for a single game, a season, or the full year.


In Year 2, the camera rental renews at $495. If you entered a full roster for your team, or if your camera has 7 or more subscribers at any level (Basic or Pro, monthly or annual), your camera renewal is free.


Clubs with 4 or more teams qualify for special pricing. Club accounts come with a dashboard that shows how coaches and teams engage with video, plus branding opportunities on the video player.


## Lease model


With Trace, you're not just getting a camera — you're getting a service that keeps getting better. You always get the latest features and software updates automatically. If there's ever a hardware issue or defect, we'll send a replacement free of charge. As Trace gets smarter, so does your camera, with no need to buy a new one.
