The solo coach
Cutting clips after the game and building the next video session, on a Mac, without an enterprise budget or an IT department.
How Pelaa compares.
Pelaa is a native macOS app for coaches to tag, stack, annotate, and export game video. It starts at €19.99/month with a 14-day free trial and no credit card. Below: who it's for, how it fits next to the tools coaches already use, and the questions people ask before switching.
14 days free — no card macOS native No sales call
Built for the coach doing the video work.
The private skills coach
Turning around a player review in twenty minutes instead of an hour, then sending the clips straight to the athlete.
Club & academy staff
A coaching staff that wants one tool across age groups, each coach in their own project library. See Pelaa for teams & clubs.
Any sport
Built from hockey, but the tag, stack, annotate, export workflow is sport-agnostic. Any coach working with game or performance video uses it the same way.
Switching from what you use now.
From enterprise analysis software
If you pay enterprise prices for professional analysis software, Pelaa runs the same tag-to-timeline-to-organized-clips workflow, plus live capture and in-game reports, native on macOS, at a small fraction of the cost, with no sales process and no per-seat negotiation. Your existing tag files come with you: tags import and export as XML and CSV.
From a general video player
If you break down games by scrubbing in a general media player, Pelaa replaces ad-hoc clipping with a structured workflow. Most coaches produce a first tagged breakdown in about ten minutes.
From a dated or cluttered tool
Pelaa puts video, tagging, a multi-row Track timeline, clip stacks, annotations, and export in one clean macOS window. No floating windows, no legacy interface to fight.
From a cloud tool
Your projects are .pelaa bundles on your own Mac, with the video embedded, and live captures
record straight to your disk. Tag, stack, annotate, and export fully offline; a network is only needed
when you record a live stream.
“An intuitive, smooth and modern video tool that’s easy to use at every level. The Four Quadrants feature works especially well.”
“Impressively coach-friendly and easy to use. There’s a real lack of software like this on Mac, and Pelaa fills that gap very well.”
“I started using Pelaa last weekend at a tournament. Really well done, easy to learn and use.”
“An incredible product for its price! Ideal for smaller organisations or youth coaches. Very well suited to the pro level as well!”
“Pelaa is an absolute masterclass in thoughtful UX and functional reliability. It’s easily the best product in its niche.”
Questions coaches ask before switching.
Is there a cheaper alternative to enterprise video analysis software for Mac?
Yes. Pelaa runs a similar tag-to-timeline-to-clips workflow natively on macOS, starting at €19.99 per month with a 14-day free trial. There is no sales process: you download the app and start working.
How do I break down game video without expensive analysis software?
Pelaa gives you tagging, a multi-row Track timeline, clip stacks, stop-frame annotations, and export in one Mac app. Most coaches produce a first tagged breakdown in about ten minutes.
What is a good video analysis app for coaches on macOS?
Pelaa is built for coaches on macOS by a coach with five seasons of professional video work. It is Apple Silicon native and runs the whole breakdown-to-export flow in one window. It was built from hockey, and the workflow is sport-agnostic, so any sport works the same way.
Can I tag and export clips offline?
Yes. Projects are .pelaa bundles stored on your own Mac with the video embedded. Tagging,
stacking, annotation, and export all work without an internet connection.
Does Pelaa run on Windows?
No. Pelaa is macOS only, version 12.3 (Monterey) or later. Apple Silicon is recommended; it also runs on Intel Macs.
