Frequently asked questions

Two big ways. First, price: traditional recruiting services often run $3,000–$10,000 a year — Skoutd is $14.99 a month, no contracts. Second, who we work for: we work for the athlete, not the recruiting company. There's no sales team, no opaque “packages,” and no upsells. You review every email, you see every coach we suggest, and you can cancel anytime.

One plan: $14.99 / month. No free tier, but no contracts and no hidden fees either — cancel anytime. That's a fraction of what families typically pay traditional recruiting services for a year.

They're far more likely to than a generic blast. Every email is personalized to the specific coach and program, written from the athlete's real profile, and sent under the athlete's own name with replies going straight to the athlete's inbox. It reads like a real student-athlete reaching out — because it is one — not a recruiting service spamming a list.

No. Nothing is sent automatically — you review and approve every message before it goes out. Each one is one-to-one, personalized, and capped so coaches never get flooded. Protecting your athlete's reputation (and ours) with coaches is the whole point of how the system is built.

Never. You only share public links the athlete already has — a YouTube channel, Hudl, MaxPreps, Instagram, and so on. Skoutd analyzes those to build the profile. No uploads, no file management.

Our AI matches programs to your athlete — their level, the division and region you're targeting, academic goals, and what they want from college — across thousands of schools. The goal is the one thing we wish we'd had growing up: surfacing the great-fit programs you'd never have found on your own, not just the famous names.

You're always in control. Skoutd drafts the emails; you review, edit, and approve each one. Nothing leaves without you, and every message is logged so you (and a parent) can see exactly what was sent, to whom, and when.

Yes — and we'd encourage it. You can add a parent or family email to be copied on every outreach email, so they're looped in on everything. (We confirm that address first, so it's only added with their okay.)

You only ever share links that are already public, and your data is yours — we don't sell it. See our Privacy Policy for the details.

No honest service can promise that — recruiting comes down to the athlete, the timing, and the fit. What Skoutd does is stack the odds in your favor: it helps you reach far more of the right coaches, with stronger, more personal outreach, for a fraction of the usual cost. More legitimate shots on goal — that's the honest promise.

Any sport, and every level of college athletics — there are great programs and great opportunities far beyond the biggest names, which is exactly what Skoutd helps you find.

Yes — the table above lists exactly what the $14.99 plan includes each month. The limits are generous for a real recruiting season, and they exist to protect coaches from spam (the fastest way to ruin deliverability for everyone), not to nickel-and-dime you. A higher-volume All Star tier is coming for power users.

Yes. No contracts, no cancellation fees — cancel whenever you want and you keep access through the end of your billing period.
