Honest comparison
Thinking about a Scolia? Read this first.
Scolia makes a genuinely good auto-scoring system. It is also the most expensive way to get one. Here is what the money actually buys, with every price sourced and dated.
What Scolia costs, really
The Scolia Home 2 is £778.95 (premierdarts.co.uk, checked 27 August 2026). The cheaper Home 2 Flex is £438.95 — but the Flex is free for only 1,000 throws a month, which a couple of evenings of practice will clear, after which the subscription runs from roughly £7.80 a month. Neither includes lighting: the Spark 360 surround is another £144.95.
So a Flex that you actually play on, with lighting, is realistically £583.90 up front plus about £94 a year — around £680 in year one. The Home 2 with lighting is £923.90.
What an Autodarts kit costs
A complete kit from us — pre-configured mini PC, cameras, 3D-printed mounts and a light ring — is £299.98, delivered. The Autodarts platform it runs is free for online play, matchmaking and statistics — no throw caps, no subscription — online tournaments included. (Autodarts Plus, £5.99/mo or £59.99/yr, is optional and adds advanced stats, extra game modes and the ability to run your own tournaments.) If you already own a Mission Torus 270, Target Corona or Winmau ring, the mount kit alone is £139.99 and keeps your lighting.
Detection accuracy on the Autodarts platform is 99%+ by its developers’ published figure. Scolia’s scoring is excellent too — this is not a claim that Scolia mis-scores; it is a claim about what the last few percent of polish costs.
When Scolia is the right call
If you want a sealed, single-vendor appliance with first-party support and money is not the deciding factor, the Home 2 is a polished product and nothing here should talk you out of it. Buy it from a UK darts retailer and enjoy it.
If what you want is accurate auto-scoring, online play and stats for the price of a decent set of darts and a board, that is the gap we exist to fill.
The short version
Same job — cameras watch the board, software scores every dart. A Scolia Home 2 with lighting is £923.90 and a subscribed Flex is about £680 in year one. A complete Autodarts kit from us is £299.98, with no subscription, free UK delivery and a free remote setup call.
Running in real pubs
What our venues say.
“We put the Autodarts setup in and it just works — punters walk up, throw, and the board scores every dart. No chalking, no arguing. It has been running night after night without a hitch.”
Morgan
The Golden Lion, Knighton
“Easy to get going and the scoring is spot on. The lads love it — darts nights are busier than they have been in years.”
George
The Plough Inn, Worcester
Already own a Scolia? You may not have to choose.
Three USB switches let the cameras already mounted around your Scolia board feed Autodarts as well — same board, same cameras, same lighting, one button press per camera to change platform. Our guide walks through the whole install.

Compared like for like: what you pay for the hardware, what you still have to buy afterwards, and what it costs to actually play for a year.
