Catapult One review: elite-sport pedigree, priced as a yearly membership

Independent researchUpdated November 2026

Catapult supplies GPS systems to professional teams, and Catapult One is its consumer version. It is sold as a membership, so the yearly renewal is the number to compare, not the starting price.

Don't buy Catapult One if…

You want to pay once and own it (STATSports Academy has no subscription), or you are choosing mainly because professional clubs use Catapult. The consumer package is a different product.

RedCard verdict

Worth a look for older, committed players who want a coach dashboard and will renew every year.

Over three seasons it is the most expensive of the GPS vests we cover, so it needs to earn its place through the app and training content.

UK price£159.99 for the kit and first 12 months.
Ongoing cost£159.99 renewal listed; an active membership is needed to record and sync.
For young playersCatapult's terms ask under-18s not to accept them, so a parent should hold the account.

What Catapult One offers

Membership activates a 10Hz GPS tracker and vest, with sprint distance, acceleration and intensity metrics in the app, plus training content. Coaches can view players through a web dashboard, which suits a small group training together.

The membership is the product

Catapult says an active membership is required to record sessions, sync data and access the dashboard. If the membership lapses, the tracker stops being useful for new sessions, so treat it as a yearly cost from day one.
