A Volt Athletics alternative, with both of Volt's price sheets on the table
Volt is a good product with an unusual pricing habit: the same plan, with the same published feature list and the same roster cap, costs a different amount depending on which page of Volt's site you arrive on. That is worth knowing before you budget, whichever way you end up going.
Volt's two price sheets
Volt has no single pricing page — voltathletics.com/pricing redirects to the
homepage. Prices live on the segment pages instead, and the two that matter to most readers
here are the high school page and the college page. Read 25 August 2026:
| Plan | Roster cap | High school page | College page |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small Team | Up to 30 athletes | $900 a year | $1,200 a year |
| Large Team | Up to 100 athletes | $1,400 a year | $1,900 a year |
Sources: voltathletics.com/high-school and voltathletics.com/college, both read 25 August 2026. Volt prints an identical "Included On All Plans" list under both tables — same iOS and Android app, same drag-and-drop builder, same 1,500-video exercise library, same CSV export, same readiness surveys, same CSCS consultant. The difference in the two sheets is the number, not the product.
Why the caps are the number to watch
Volt's tiers step at 30 and at 100. Those are not arbitrary; they are roughly one team and roughly one program. The awkward part is what happens in between. A football roster that finishes the spring at 28 and comes back in August at 34 has crossed a line, and the second tier is not a small step up: on the high school sheet it is $900 to $1,400, a 56 percent increase for six more athletes.
The same shape shows up on the college sheet, $1,200 to $1,900. If your roster sits near a cap, price the tier above the one you think you need, because that is the one you will actually be on by the second season.
Where Volt is the better buy
Volt's core promise is programming: periodized, sport-specific plans that generate from your season dates, built by their staff and delivered with video for 40-plus sports. If what you want is for the software to decide what the athletes lift, Volt does that and EatSleepRep does not. We give you a calendar, a movement library and a builder; we do not write your program for you, and we are not going to pretend otherwise.
Volt also ships a tablet Training Mode for a weight room floor, which is a real thing to want if you run large groups through a rack rotation.
Where this one costs less and covers more of the day
EatSleepRep is $249 a year for up to 30 athletes and $599 for up to 100 — the same two caps, from a single published price list that does not change based on what kind of school you are. Against the high school sheet that is $900 against $249 at thirty, and $1,400 against $599 at a hundred. Against the college sheet it is $1,200 and $1,900.
The other difference is what the console shows you. Volt is a training system: it knows what you programmed and what got logged. EatSleepRep shows training next to food and sleep for the same athlete on the same day, because the reason a senior's bar speed fell off in November is usually not the program.
| Volt (high school sheet) | Volt (college sheet) | EatSleepRep | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to 30 athletes | $900 a year | $1,200 a year | $249 a year |
| Up to 100 athletes | $1,400 a year | $1,900 a year | $599 a year |
| Athletes pay | No | No | No |
| Written programming included | Yes, 40+ sports | Yes, 40+ sports | No — you build it |
| Food and sleep on the coach view | No | No | Yes |
| CSV export | Yes | Yes | Yes |
What to do with this if you are mid-quote
Ask which sheet you are being quoted from, and ask it in writing. If you coach at a high school and the number in front of you looks like the college sheet, that is a question worth asking before the PO goes in. Volt's own high school page invites you to ask about discounts for multiple teams, multi-year contracts and full departments, so there is clearly room in the number.
Try it with one team
Make a team, put this week's sessions up, and text the join code to your athletes. Nothing to install for you, no card to start, and if it is not for you the team deletes in one click and every athlete keeps their own log.
Common questions
Yes, but not on one page. voltathletics.com/pricing redirects to the homepage; the prices sit on the segment pages instead. As of 25 August 2026 the high school page lists $900 a year for up to 30 athletes and $1,400 for up to 100, and the college page lists $1,200 and $1,900 for the same two caps.
Volt prices by segment. The published feature list under both tables is identical, so the difference is in the price rather than in what you get.
EatSleepRep is $249 a year for up to 30 athletes, against $900 on Volt's high school sheet for the same cap. The trade is programming: Volt writes sport-specific programs for you and EatSleepRep does not.
No. Volt and EatSleepRep are both bought by the program, not by the athlete.
