ALIGN Sports vs Upplii

ALIGN Sports is a team management app for coaches, captains, recreational leagues, and youth organizers. Teams can schedule games, practices, and events, collect RSVPs, set jersey colors and lineups, and send push notifications. Rosters can include roles, positions, jersey numbers, and status badges, and players may be invited by text or email. Team chat supports group and direct messages, @mentions, GIFs, and image sharing. Teams can assign and track payments, share peer-to-peer payment links through services such as Venmo and PayPal, or collect dues through Stripe. The app includes sport-specific lineups and team and player stats; advanced stats and analytics are Premium features. Supported sports listed include hockey, baseball, basketball, soccer, men's and women's lacrosse, and softball. The Free plan is free. The website supports schedule RSVPs, roster, hub, and chat, while the site says the full experience is in the mobile app; the homepage labels iOS and Android as coming soon and invites visitors to join the beta.

Upplii is a platform for clubs, teams, leagues, camps, clinics, training academies, and school teams. It connects registrations, members, seasons, spaces, payments, communications, and public pages. Team tools include rosters and invitations, calendar synchronization, events and attendance, messaging, and dues or payments. Schedules can be exported to Google and Apple calendars. Upplii supports Android, iOS, and web access. The free Team plan has no monthly platform fee, supports up to three teams, and includes unlimited seasons, payments and scheduling, a member portal, mobile app, and updates; a 2% Upplii fee and payment processing apply separately. Club costs $199 a month for unlimited teams, leagues, and programs, with a 1.5% fee plus processing. Association pricing is custom for multi-club operations. Stripe processes online payments when configured, and Upplii says card details are not stored directly. Support is by email, typically within two business days.
