Pitchero vs sportsYou

Pitchero combines a club website with membership, team management, payments, and communications for sports clubs. Its membership tools include online registration forms, a central database, custom fields, import and export, and permission controls. Team tools cover player availability, selection, messaging, fixtures, results, and player statistics. Clubs can collect membership fees, match fees, donations, and other product payments online, with reminders and payment tracking. Stripe and GoCardless are named payment integrations; other listed connections include YouTube, Facebook, X.com, Ticketmaster Universe, and official ECB Play-Cricket.com. The Free plan costs nothing and is limited to one team; payment processing is unavailable on that plan. Standard costs £38 per month and supports up to 20 teams. Pro costs £99 per month and offers unlimited teams. Paid packages have a 30-day free trial with no payment required to start; the selected plan begins automatically when the trial ends. Pitchero is available on Android, iOS, and web, and lists unlimited AWS hosting. Its UK team is available 24/7 for support, guidance, and onboarding.
