Pace vs Garmin Catalyst 2
Live video, synced telemetry, and sponsors — keep the $1,199
Every session captured and analyzed on the phone you own, streamed live to family, fans, and sponsors, with a channel and a following behind it — everything a $1,199 single-driver box was never designed to do. Free to start.
Bottom line
Pace captures and analyzes every session on the phone you already own, streams it live with telemetry on the picture, builds a channel your family and fans follow, and puts sponsors on the broadcast — free to start. Catalyst is a $1,199 box that coaches one driver and shares with no one. If in-ear cues are your one must-have, add the box; everything else runs on Pace.
