AI video feedback apps

These apps look at you, not at a model athlete. That is the part a class or a tutorial cannot do between sessions.

1. mmaGPT

Pick your discipline and upload a clip of sparring, bag work, forms or rolls. mmaGPT returns a report: what you did well, the one fix that matters most with its exact timestamp, a drill for your next session and a score. Your next report checks whether that fix held, so you can see progress clip by clip. It covers 11 disciplines: MMA, boxing, Muay Thai, kickboxing, BJJ, wrestling, judo, karate, taekwondo, Krav Maga and capoeira. It runs in the browser on iPhone, Android and computers, so there is nothing to install.

Price: Starter is $19 a month (8 analyses), Pro $29 (16) and Elite $49 (45). New subscribers get a 14-day free trial on Starter, Pro and Elite. Single analyses from $3.99. See current plans.

Best for: anyone who wants to know what to fix in their own technique. It reviews your clips; it does not teach a style from scratch.

It costs $17 per student seat a month with no minimum, and each seat includes 8 analyses per billing period. Start with a free 10-day pilot for you and up to 10 students, with no sales call: mmaGPT Academy.

How we chose

mmaGPT is first because it is the only app here that reviews your own footage in any browser, on Android as well as iPhone. The others are grouped by the job they do. Platforms, prices and ratings come from each app's App Store or Google Play listing or official site, checked November 1, 2026. Prices are US prices and can change. We did not test the other apps on the same footage, so no accuracy comparison is claimed.
