Healthy Roster earned its place in athletic training rooms: solid injury documentation and genuinely good parent communication. Strata's difference is what surrounds that record: the weight room, nutrition, wellness, testing, and weather safety, all reading from the same athlete profile.
Injury documentation for Athletic Trainers, parent messaging that families actually use, referral tracking, and a strong footprint in hospital outreach programs that staff school Athletic Trainers.
Healthy Roster documents what happened to the athlete. Strata also carries what the athlete is doing: training loads, testing numbers, wellness, sleep, and fueling, so the record can warn you before the next entry instead of just storing the last one.

| Referral & physician loop | ✓ | ✓ |
| Strength programming, rack cards, testing days | ✓ | ✗ |
| Daily wellness & fatigue flags feeding the medical view | ✓ | ✗ |
| Nutrition with an Athletic Trainer in the loop | ✓ | ✗ |
| WBGT heat & lightning documentation | ✓ | ✗ |
| Recruiting one-pager per athlete | ✓ | ✗ |
| One career-long profile across every silo | ✓ | ✗ |
| Typical yearly cost | $5,000 flat, unlimited athletes ($3,000 founding) | Custom quote, commonly $1,000+; strength and nutrition still need separate tools |
Comparison reflects general, publicly available positioning; feature sets and pricing vary by plan and change over time. Strata is not affiliated with Healthy Roster. Where they're strong, we say so.
If all you need is injury documentation and parent messaging, Healthy Roster does that job. But your Strength & Conditioning Coach still needs a strength app, your athletes still buy nutrition apps, and none of it will ever read the injury record. Strata is what it looks like when one system holds the whole athlete.
