Upfront is the cheapest complete purchase without a dartboard. Per year is what removes free-tier limits. 3 years is upfront plus three years of that. Subscription prices are shown as the seller lists them.

What you need

A steel-tip board, a 360° LED ring, three USB cameras with mounts, a computer for the board software, a browser or app device to play on, an internet connection (also for local games) and a free Autodarts account. Building, installing and calibrating takes some technical skill.

Accuracy (vendor claim)
up to 99%13,14

Standard USB cameras you buy yourself, or the official DIY Camera Kit.

Changes

  1. Added to the comparison.
  2. Upfront estimate now counts cameras and holders only, like the other build-it-yourself rigs; light ring and computer are listed as extras.
  3. Split the device facts: 'Scoring app on' lists where you score and play; 'Detection runs on' lists the devices that run the detection.
