They have so many different models so it depends which model you compare it to :) We'll be competitive if not cheaper. We're still finalizing manufacturing and figuring out pricing but will likely need to start at a higher price and lower volume.

Pricing is definitely hard. Something we're testing out and learning about right now. Luckily we do have a subscription model too which can give us some flexibility. I'm happy to chat. My email is in my bio.

We're building Hoopfit, the most advanced basketball shooting machine ever.
It's battery powered and ultra portable so it can be used in your driveway hoop or you can take it to the park. It's powered by iPad Air so we heavily leverage the cameras for computer vision and AI to automatically track a players shooting stats and provide real time feedback on shooting form.
I'm a software engineer but I have to admit, designing and building a physical product is so rewarding and a ton of fun :)
It's the product I wish I had as a kid and desperately need as a recreational hooper trying to continue playing basketball as I get older!
