In their own words
BenchApp
BenchApp helps sports teams manage schedules, rosters, attendance, communication, player stats, and team finances. It is aimed at coaches, captains, commissioners, parents, and players, and supports hockey, soccer, baseball, basketball, football, volleyball, lacrosse, pickleball, golf, and other sports. Teams can collect RSVPs by email or text and set automatic reminders. Communication tools include team, group, and private messages, polls, bulletins, line-ups, photos, and GIF sharing. Payment features track fees and expenses, accept online credit-card payments, and send overdue reminders. BenchApp says Stripe processes payments and subscriptions and that it does not access card details. Players can join, RSVP, and message for free on every plan; text RSVP replies need neither an app nor an account. It is available on Android, iOS, and web. The Free plan includes unlimited rosters, scheduling, RSVP tracking, team messaging, player stats, and payment tracking. PRO costs $9 a month; league plans cost $10 a month or $100 a year.
TeamStats
TeamStats is a football team management app for grassroots clubs, bringing scheduling, availability, communication, match statistics and finances together.

Match reports can record events and include AI-generated newspaper-style reports, while team and player statistics update from match details. Finance tools record income, expenses, fees and player charges, and financial data can be exported.
