The Difference
Why parents start here.
01
Built by someone who’s been there.
Prospecta’s founder played D1. The scoring engine reflects what coaches actually look at — position by position, sport by sport.
02
Free where it counts.
The full assessment is free, forever. Pro is $39/mo if you want the outreach toolkit. No "limited spots," no contract, no upsell calendar invite.
03
Sport-specific to the point of obsession.
11 engines — UTR for tennis, NLF for lacrosse, PG velo for baseball, EYBL for hoops, JGS for golf, USA Swimming cuts for swimmers. The same generic survey can't read your kid.
