UltiAnalytics Alternatives: What to Use Now
If you played competitive Ultimate Frisbee in the 2010s, there’s a good chance your team used UltiAnalytics. It was the go-to tool for tracking stats — points, assists, turnovers, D blocks — and for years it served the community well.
But UltiAnalytics hasn’t been updated in a long time. The app is effectively abandoned, and while it might still technically work on some devices, relying on unmaintained software is a recipe for frustration. Broken features, compatibility issues with newer phones, and no support if something goes wrong.
So if you’re an UltiAnalytics user looking for a new home, or you’ve just heard the name and are wondering what’s out there — here’s an honest look at your options.
What UltiAnalytics Did Well
Before jumping to alternatives, it’s worth acknowledging what made UltiAnalytics popular in the first place:
- Per-player stat tracking — you could record who threw the assist, who scored, who got the D
- Game and season-level analysis — aggregate stats over time to see player development
- Free to use — which mattered a lot for cash-strapped Ultimate teams
- Community adoption — lots of teams used it, so there was shared knowledge and familiarity
Any good replacement needs to either match these strengths or offer something different that’s equally valuable. The truth is, no single app perfectly replicates everything UltiAnalytics did. But depending on what you actually used it for, there are good options.
Statto
What it is: A comprehensive stat-tracking platform for Ultimate Frisbee.
Statto is probably the closest thing to a direct UltiAnalytics replacement if your main need is detailed per-player statistics. It’s designed for competitive teams who want to dig into their data.
What it does well:
- Detailed per-player stats: goals, assists, turnovers, blocks, and more
- Point-by-point tracking with possession-level detail
- Season and game-level analytics
- Web-based dashboard for reviewing data after games
- Active development — it’s being maintained and improved
Things to consider:
- Requires a dedicated stats person on the sideline during games. This isn’t really an app you use while playing — someone needs to be focused on entering data in real time.
- There’s a learning curve. It’s powerful, but that power comes with complexity.
- Best suited for organised team play — club teams, university squads, competitive leagues.
Best for: Teams that used UltiAnalytics for serious stat analysis and want to continue that level of detail.
Where to find it: statto.io (check their site for current availability and pricing)
Huck
What it is: A simple Ultimate Frisbee scorekeeping app for iPhone and Apple Watch.
Huck takes a different approach from UltiAnalytics. Rather than trying to capture every statistic, it focuses on doing a few things really well: scorekeeping, workout tracking, and being easy to use mid-game.
What it does well:
- Quick and simple scorekeeping — designed to be used while you’re actually playing
- Apple Watch app so you can track scores from your wrist
- Built-in workout tracking: distance, calories, heart rate — saved to Apple Health
- ABBA scoring support
- Game history so you can look back at past results
- Team customisation for your regular groups
Things to consider:
- No per-player stat tracking. If you need to know who threw how many assists, this isn’t the tool for that.
- iPhone and Apple Watch only — no Android support.
- It’s simpler by design. If you want depth, Statto is the better fit.
Best for: Players who used UltiAnalytics casually (mainly for scorekeeping) and want something modern and simple. Especially good if you wear an Apple Watch and want your games tracked as workouts.
Where to find it: gethuck.com or the App Store
Spreadsheets and Manual Tracking
This might sound low-tech, but plenty of teams have switched to Google Sheets or Excel for their stat tracking after UltiAnalytics stopped being reliable.
What it does well:
- Completely customisable — track exactly what you want
- Free
- Accessible to everyone on the team
- Easy to share and collaborate on
- Works on any device
Things to consider:
- Requires someone to build and maintain the spreadsheet template
- Manual data entry is slow and error-prone during games
- No real-time features or integrations
- You lose all the automation that a dedicated app provides
Best for: Teams on a tight budget who have someone willing to set up and maintain a tracking system. Also good for teams with very specific stat needs that no app covers.
WFDF and USAU Official Tools
Both the World Flying Disc Federation (WFDF) and USA Ultimate have their own event management and stat tracking systems for sanctioned events.
What they do well:
- Official stats for recognised tournaments
- Standardised across events
- Integrated with rankings and seedings
Things to consider:
- Generally only available for official, sanctioned events
- Not practical for regular league play or pickup
- You probably can’t use them for your Tuesday evening league
Best for: Tournament-level play where official stats are needed.
Other Community Tools
The Ultimate community has always been resourceful, and there are various smaller tools and projects floating around:
- Ulti Manager — focused more on team management (rosters, schedules) than in-game stats
- Custom apps and tools — some teams build their own solutions using platforms like Airtable or Notion
- Reddit and community forums — the r/ultimate community often shares recommendations and homegrown tools
It’s worth checking what your local community uses. Sometimes the best tool is the one that everyone around you is already on.
So What Should You Switch To?
Here’s a quick decision framework:
| What you need | Best option |
|---|---|
| Deep per-player stats like UltiAnalytics | Statto |
| Simple scorekeeping + workout tracking | Huck |
| Maximum flexibility on a budget | Google Sheets |
| Official tournament stats | WFDF/USAU tools |
If you were a power user of UltiAnalytics — tracking every throw, every turnover, building season-long player profiles — Statto is where you should look. It’s the most feature-complete statistical tool available for Ultimate right now.
If you mainly used UltiAnalytics to keep score and maybe glance at basic game results afterward, you might find that a simpler tool like Huck actually suits you better. Not everyone needs a full analytics platform — sometimes you just want to know the score and have a record of your games.
If you’re on Android, your options are more limited. Statto’s web tools work across platforms, and spreadsheets are obviously universal. The dedicated app market for Ultimate on Android is unfortunately sparse.
The Bigger Picture
It’s a shame that UltiAnalytics was abandoned. It served the community well for a long time, and losing a tool that so many teams relied on is genuinely frustrating. But the Ultimate Frisbee app space is slowly growing, and the tools that exist now are generally better maintained and more polished than what we had five years ago.
The best advice is to try a couple of options and see what sticks for your team. Most are free or cheap to try, and switching costs are low. Your perfect replacement depends entirely on how you play and what you actually need to track.
If you’re looking for a simple, modern scorekeeping app for Ultimate, give Huck a try. It’s free on the App Store and takes about 30 seconds to set up.
