Common questions

What's the real difference between Trackbeast and Streamline Athletes?›

The benchmark. Streamline matches athletes against published recruiting standards; Trackbeast matches against the verified high-school marks of athletes each program actually signed. Published standards are aspirational — college coaches and parents on public running forums have repeatedly pointed out that real rosters and real signing classes don't match the posted standards. Signings don't lie.

Which is better for a family that needs scholarship money?›

Trackbeast carries federal EADA money data for every program — athletic budgets, aid totals, and average athletic aid per roster athlete — and factors "what your family can afford" into matching. Streamline doesn't offer program financial data.

When is Streamline the better choice?›

Canadian athletes and athletes targeting Canadian universities: Streamline's U SPORTS coverage and Canadian federation relationships are real advantages. Its ~$120/yr Plus tier is also a cheaper entry point if you only want messaging and standards labels without depth data or money data.

Standards lie. Signings don't.
