Hey all. Wanted to take a minute to explain how pricing works on Race Ninja and why.
The goal from day one has been simple. F1-grade analytics for grassroots motorsport. Telemetry analysis, lap timing, sector splits, braking point detection, racing line visualisation, corner speed analysis, Perfect Lap, Head to Head lap comparison, and AI coaching insights. The kind of data tools that Formula 1 teams, professional race engineers, and top-tier karting outfits have had for years. Built for club racers, karting families, and track day drivers. From a single GoPro or DJI camera. No expensive data loggers. No laptops full of proprietary software. No £800 Garmin Catalyst. No AiM Solo. No MyChron or Alfano dashboard required.
It’s taken over a year of working on this almost every morning before my day job, at lunch, and for a few hours most evenings to get it to a place where I was willing to share it. Every day, for at least 365 days. I’m obsessed with giving back to grassroots motorsport, because it’s given so much to my son already. And honestly, grassroots gets shamefully cast aside (and in a lot of ways, pillaged) by the highest levels of the sport. This is my small way of pushing back against that.
I’d love to give this away for free, and in a lot of ways we already do. The development side is free. I’m a data engineer and scientist in my day job, and I’ve built this in my spare time for my son and for anyone else who wants to use it.
What costs money is the compute. Every upload goes through a pipeline that cuts your video into laps, extracts and processes the telemetry, synchronises everything, and then runs the deeper layers on top. AI, computer vision, machine learning, and sound event detection. None of that is free on our side, and that’s what the price reflects. Nothing more.
Here are the options, so you can pick what fits.
Free, forever. Your first analysis every month is free. One on me, every user, every month. And if you want more, you can share an analysis publicly with the community (they’re private by default) and get your credit back. Share your data, help others learn, keep analysing.
Pay per analysis. No subscription. Buy a single analysis or a pack and use them whenever. Valid for a couple of years, so you’ve got flexibility.
Clubman Lite — £9.99/month. 10 uploads a month. Enough for a kart racing weekend or a couple of practice days. This tier also turns off the AI interpretation if you’d rather read the data yourself. The computer vision, machine learning, and sound event detection still run in the background, so your data quality is identical. We just don’t narrate it for you.
Clubman. Same as Lite but with the AI interpretation switched on. Data can be overwhelming in the paddock between sessions, so this adds a second set of “eyes” that summarise what matters and point out where the time’s hiding. Useful for Rotax racing, IAME, Bambino, Cadet, Junior, Senior, hill climbs, track days, or any motorsport where tenths matter. It’s not gospel, just a useful extra perspective.
Higher tiers. More powerful features that need more compute. Priced accordingly, but still a fraction of what traditional motorsport data analysis costs.
One thing worth saying. If you already pay for cloud storage to keep your racing footage safe, Race Ninja doubles as that. You can download your videos whenever you want, they’re always yours. You just also get the full analysis stack sitting on top of them.
That’s it really. I think it’s fair for what it does, and I wanted to be upfront about the why.
Any questions, happy to answer.
