Recon 6 vs a 1-on-1 coaching session
Recon 6 Pro is a $12-a-month Rainbow Six Siege coaching tool: a plan for the round you're about to play, 20 AI reviews of your own screenshots a month, and a Windows desktop coach. A 1-on-1 session is an hour with a human coach going through your rounds with you.
| Recon 6 Pro | 1-on-1 session | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $12 a month | $40 an hour ($20 for your first) |
| When it helps | Before and after every match | When you book it |
| What you get | Advanced strategy plans, 20 screenshot reviews a month, the desktop coach | A review of the rounds you bring and a plan for your next queue |
| What it can't do | It only sees the screenshots you upload, not the whole round | It lasts an hour, then you play on your own |
Which costs less?
Pro costs $12 a month. One session costs $40, and your first is $20. Two sessions a month would be $80; Champion is $70 a month and includes 2 sessions plus everything in Elite.
What does a human coach catch that software can't?
A coach sees the whole round: your timing, your comms, the sound cue you ignored, and the decision ten seconds before the death. Recon 6's review only sees the screenshots you upload, so it can only judge what is in them.
What does Recon 6 do that one session can't?
Recon 6 is there every match. Pick the map, site and side and you get one plan with five operator jobs, the callouts and the utility. After the match, Pro reviews screenshots from your rounds and keeps the mistake you need to fix in front of you. Bank and Coastline are free to try.
What happens in a 1-on-1 session?
A session is one full hour. You bring 2-3 clips or screenshots of rounds you lost, the coach breaks down the decisions that cost you those rounds, and you leave with a plan for your next queue. Sessions are for PC and console players at any rank. You pick an open time on the calendar, pay through Stripe, and get a calendar invite.
What are the limits of each?
Pro includes 20 AI reviews a month, each of up to 5 screenshots, and a review can only judge what those screenshots show. Elite raises that to 60 reviews of up to 10 screenshots. A session covers the rounds you bring to that one hour. Champion's 2 monthly sessions don't roll over to the next month.
Which should you pick?
If you don't know what you're doing wrong, start with one session; the first is $20. If you know the problem and need reps with a plan, Pro is the cheaper habit. If you want both every month, Champion covers them. Elite ($39) sits between: more reviews, no live sessions.

- Who runs the sessions?
- Aaron Henry, who founded Recon 6. Sessions are booked from the coaching page.
