Included with reports
Starter includes 5 pucks/month (2 game reports plus a bonus puck) and Pro includes 20 pucks/month (up to 10 game reports) with unlimited player comparisons at no puck cost on an active plan. Every plan puck costs less than buying singles — that is the point of subscribing. Need more reports? Buy extra pucks at $4.99 each — a game report costs 2 pucks, and a comparison costs 1 puck (free on an active Pro plan).
Pucks never expire. Your monthly plan pucks land in the same balance as purchased ones and carry forward — nothing resets, so unused pucks stack month over month until you spend them.

Coaching is free. Every coach gets the full workspace, plus every week on us: 4 line reports, 4 line optimizes, 4 scouting reports, 4 strategy picks, 4 full game reports and 2 game reviews. No card, no trial.
The weekly allowance belongs to the team, so your whole coaching staff (head coach and assistants) shares it. It resets every Monday at midnight Pacific time. Each coach also has a personal limit of 30 free runs a week across all their teams.
On the free allowance and used up this week's runs of a tool? Pucks still work at the usual rates until Monday: a line report 1 puck, a line optimize 1 puck, an opponent scouting report 1 puck, a built-for-you strategy on the strategy page 1 puck, a full team game report 2 pucks, and a roster player's game report 2 pucks. Building your lines is always free.
Need more every week? Coach Premium (opens with live billing; pilot coaches have it included) is $29.99/mo per coach for unlimited coach tools, with a fair use ceiling of 150 runs a month, all tools combined. If a Premium coach reaches that ceiling, coach tools pause until the 1st of next month. Pucks don't cover runs past the Premium ceiling.
For families: a game report your coach runs never charges your family and never uses your free monthly report, however the coach paid for it.
Build your lineup on the lines page. Your players live on the bench strip — pinned along the bottom on a phone, or down the left side on a bigger screen. Put a player on a line and he leaves the bench; when everyone is placed it reads “Full lineup set — everyone placed.” Players who are out sit dimmed at the end of the strip with the reason (“Out — tap to bring back”), ready to tap back in.
Tap a player for his menu
Tap any player — on the bench or already on a line — to open his menu. Depending on where he is, you can Place him on a line, Move or Replace him, Send him to the bench, Set status, or Quick stats to see his stats in a pop-up without leaving the page, or Open full profile for his full player page. Moving one placed player onto another simply swaps the two — you never end up with an empty spot mid-move.
Marking a player out
Set status has five options: In, Injured, Sick, Suspended, and Healthy scratch. Marking a player out pulls him off the lines for you — the spot he left simply reads “Tap to fill.”
Injured, Sick, and Suspended follow the player to every game and every opponent until you set him back to In. A Healthy scratch is for this game only — it applies to this opponent’s board and doesn’t carry over. Building your lines never places anyone who is marked out.
IF YOUR PLAN SAYS “INCLUDED”
Sometimes we give a coach or a family full access on us — for a pre-season pilot, or to say thanks. When that is on, your plan card reads Included instead of Subscribed, along with the date it runs through.
If you were sent a code, enter it at shiftexcellence.com/redeem (or just tap the link we sent — it fills the code in for you). Access goes on straight away. Codes are limited and expire, so if yours says it is no longer valid, reply to the message we sent and we will sort it out.
- •You get everything that plan gets, with no card on file and nothing to cancel.
- •Your pucks are added once, up front — they do not top up every month the way a paid plan does. Whatever you do not use stays in your balance.
- •On the end date you go back to the free tier. Nothing is deleted — your players, games, reports and lines stay exactly where they are, and any pucks still in your balance keep working.
- •You can subscribe at any time, before or after that date — there is no gap and no penalty for waiting.
