The honest summary
Water Polo Stats (on the App Store as Water Polo Team Stats) is a stats app for coaches and stat takers that also films the game: it records or streams to YouTube from the same phone or tablet, with the scoreboard on the video, and its listing says streaming is free for the club and for fans. Families see the stream in a browser, with no app, and after the game the app builds highlight reels for each player. It is free to try, with a subscription at $12.99 a month or $99.99 a year (App Store, 2026-11-05). Eggbeater does not film from the phone: its live video needs a separate camera. What it does is put the live score, the play-by-play and each player’s stats on any phone or laptop in about five seconds with no account and no app, and host tournaments with pools and brackets.
Water Polo Stats puts the game on video for the family at no cost to the fan. Eggbeater puts the live score on any phone with no app, and runs the tournament. A team can use both.

Can Eggbeater film a game from a phone like Water Polo Stats?

Which should I pick?
If the goal is a free video of each game that relatives can see, with highlight reels for each player, Water Polo Stats does that from one phone. If the goal is a live score and stats for every spectator on any phone, the bracket on the pool-deck TV and a tournament to host, Eggbeater. They do different jobs, and a team can use both.
