Hours you get here work in the app too — same account
Scoring is free forever. Plans only change the live video.
The core is free. Live scoring and phone-to-phone live video — indoor and beach — cost nothing, with no account required to start. Get the free VBallScore app for iPhone, iPad and Android (see Using the mobile app). Plans are optional and only affect the quality and reach of the live video.

YouTube needs a channel that is enabled for live streaming; it uses the same streaming hours.
Everyone
Relatives watching from anywhere
Bigger audiences and longer days
Family and Pro buy VBallScore HD streaming time. Optional YouTube relay needs your channel to be eligible for live streaming. YouTube relay uses the same streaming hours when live, with no separate YouTube fee.
Family & Pro are bought on the website in a browser — sign in at vballscore.com, then My Account → Plan (the buttons take you there). Use the same account in the mobile app and the hours are there too. Free streaming not working where you play? First-time Go Live includes a free 2-minute trial of the paid HD stream — make sure it works for you before you buy.
Tournament directors: Director Dashboard publishing is a separate one-time flat $49 software/setup fee per tournament, not a subscription and not a streaming plan. Teams pay entry fees directly to the director. See the Director Dashboard details.
Run a quick check on this network — about 5 seconds, nothing recorded or uploaded except a tiny speed test. Free streaming is phone-to-phone, so some venue networks block it; Family & Pro stream through a relay built to work almost anywhere this page loads.
Free streaming not working at your venue? Every account gets a free 2-minute trial of the paid HD stream the first time you tap Go Live — make sure the HD you'd be buying works on your real network, before you buy.
Yes. The live scoreboard is free for everyone, forever — no account, no time limit. Plans only change the live video.
Free streaming sends video phone-to-phone. It works well on most home and venue connections. Some networks block it or some viewers' devices can't load it; when that happens the app says so and a paid plan streams through a relay that plays more widely.
Family and Pro include a bank of streaming time that only counts down while you are actually live — not wall-clock — and it works across as many matches as you like. A typical match streams about 1.5–2 hours including warm-up and breaks, so Family covers roughly 6–8 matches (a full tournament day) and Pro roughly 12–16 (a busy club month).
Your banked hours are good for 90 days (3 months) from purchase — no subscription, no auto-renew.
On a phone or tablet, yes: VBallScore runs in the free app for iPhone, iPad and Android, and live video is sent from the app. On a computer you can keep score, watch and run tournaments in your browser with nothing to install; a browser cannot go live. See Using the mobile app for video.
No. Family and Pro buy live-video time. Publishing a Director Dashboard tournament is a separate one-time flat $49 software/setup fee for that event; teams pay their entry fees directly to the director.
