Quick answer: Just Play sells two different things. My Just Play, the individual coach product, publishes its pricing: $15 per month or $120 per year for Basic, and $20 per month or $180 per year for PRO, with a 14-day free trial on both. The team platform used by college and pro staffs is quote-only, and Just Play does not publish a number for it.

What Just Play actually does
Just Play is a playbook and game-plan distribution platform. You build your plays, scouting reports, and install material inside it, then push that material to your players on their phones, and quiz them on it. Over a thousand programs use it, and its strongest feature is the one that is hardest to replicate: getting what the staff knows into the players' heads before Friday.
That is a genuinely different job from producing the analysis in the first place. Just Play is the delivery layer. Somebody still has to sit down and decide what the scouting report says.
What the price gets you at each tier
My Just Play Basic ($15/mo) covers the individual coach: play diagramming, a personal playbook, and the core distribution tools. It is aimed at one coach organising their own material rather than at a staff.
My Just Play PRO ($20/mo) adds the heavier features around that same core. For a single coach running their own program, the gap between Basic and PRO is $5 a month, which is small enough that most people who need one will take the other.
The team platform is where the automation lives, including the scouting-report workflows and analytics integrations that college and pro staffs buy it for. It is priced per program by quote. If you are a high school program asking what it costs, you will have to ask a salesperson, which is the same answer Synergy, Hudl Sportscode, Hudl InStat, Spiideo, and ShotTracker give.
The honest comparison
If your problem is *"my players do not know the game plan"*, Just Play is a strong buy and $120 a year is not much money. Its distribution and quizzing are better than what you would assemble yourself.
If your problem is *"I do not have time to produce the game plan"*, Just Play does not solve it. It formats and delivers analysis you have already done. On a Sunday night with an opponent you have never seen, you are still the one doing the work.
That is the gap HoopBrief is built for. It generates the opponent analysis itself from NBA play-by-play, tracking, and matchup data, so there is no film to upload and nothing to tag. Starter is $9.99 a month. It is not a playbook distribution tool and does not try to be, so a program that needs both will run both.
What to check before you buy either
- Does the price include your whole staff, or one seat? My Just Play is priced for the individual. Multi-coach access is a team-platform conversation.
- Do you already own distribution? Many programs already push material through Hudl or a shared drive. Paying again to do the same job is common and avoidable.
- What produces the analysis? Ask this of every tool in the category. Most of them, honestly answered, say "you do".
- Is there a trial? Just Play gives you 14 days. Use them on a real opponent in a real week, not on a demo dataset.
Where this sits in the category
Just Play is one of a small number of basketball tools that publish any price at all. Synergy, Hudl's team tiers, Hudl Sportscode, Hudl InStat, Spiideo, and ShotTracker all quote privately, which means a coach cannot scope a budget without booking a call. Just Play publishing $15 and $20 is genuinely useful, and worth crediting.
