In their own words
Spond
Spond is a free app and club management service for organizing clubs, teams, groups, sports, and activities. It runs on Android, iOS, and web. Organizers can schedule one-off or repeating events, plan a season, poll members about event times, set participant limits, and manage waiting lists. Admins can invite up to 500 members through the app or web. Spond describes its messaging as GDPR-compliant and says it provides traceability and parent or guardian oversight. Groups can request payments for trips, annual fees, or uniforms, with participants paying in the app or by email. Spond Club adds a web-based interface for managing multiple groups and teams, with imports, configurable member fields, role-based admin permissions, sign-up forms, event registrations, and club websites. Stripe processes payments; the listed US Spond Club fee is 3.29% + $1.00 per transaction. Spond provides separate help centers for the app and Spond Club. Its age rules say children under 15 need guardian approval, and users must be at least 15 to create groups. Spond says children aged 15 and over may use the service without guardian approval.
Upplii
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.
