Why players look for a HomeCourt alternative
HomeCourt made AI basketball training popular: you prop up your phone and the app tracks your shots and dribbles. Three things send people looking elsewhere today:
- No Android app. HomeCourt’s FAQ confirms it is not available on Android.
- No recent updates. Its last App Store update (version 3.34) came out in January 2022.
- Shooting first. HomeCourt covers shooting, dribbling and agility, but players who mainly want better handles often want deeper dribbling feedback.

The best alternative depends on what you used HomeCourt for
If you used it for shooting
Ball AI and Ballogy both track shots with your phone camera and work on Android. Ball AI also covers dribbling, finishing and defense, which makes it the closest all-round match.
If you used it for dribbling
DribbleLift is built only for ball handling. You do five moves in front of your camera (right- and left-hand pound, one-dribble crossover, continuous crossover and between-the-legs), and the AI gives you a score out of 100, a breakdown of control, speed and weak-hand skill, and a written report on what to fix first. Then you train with guided 7–8 minute workouts — a picture-in-picture coach demo with voice cues, with your camera as a mirror — and retest to see what improved. The assessment, the full first report and a starter workout are free. See how the dribbling test works.
On iPhone, Kyrie AI and Elete are dribbling-only alternatives with camera scoring.
If you’re on Android
Your options are Ball AI (all-round), DribbleLift (dribbling), Ballogy (shooting) and Pure Sweat (free video workouts, no tracking). DribbleUp also runs on Android but needs its smart ball; see our DribbleUp comparison.
What to look for in an AI basketball app
- Platform: make sure it runs on your phone before you think about features.
- Active development: check the “last updated” date on the store listing.
- Feedback, not only drills: a score or a report tells you what to work on next.
- Free tier: you should be able to try the core feature before paying.

Common questions
Is HomeCourt still available?
Yes, HomeCourt is still listed on the US App Store with a monthly ($7.99) and yearly ($69.99) plan. Its most recent update, version 3.34, was released in January 2022.
Is HomeCourt on Android?
No. HomeCourt's own FAQ says the app isn't available on Android. Ball AI, DribbleLift, DribbleUp, Ballogy and Pure Sweat all have Android apps.
Is HomeCourt worth it?
If you mainly want shot tracking on an iPhone and the current version works on your device, it can still be useful. If you're on Android, or you want an app that is actively updated, pick one of the alternatives above.
What's the best HomeCourt alternative for dribbling?
For dribbling only, look for an app that scores your ball handling and tells you what to fix. DribbleLift does this on iPhone and Android with a free five-move assessment; Kyrie AI and Elete do it on iPhone.
