sportsYou vs Upplii

sportsYou is a school-safe messaging and coordination service for coaches and high school athletics. It runs on Android, iOS, and the web, with a free core account and Pro plans priced at $1.99 a month or $19.99 a year. Coaches, athletic directors, administrators, athletes, and families can publish announcements, share other content, and chat in real time with entire teams or selected groups. A photo and video gallery and centralized document library keep team media and files together. Teams can update schedules, share event locations through Google Maps, import feeds from Arbiter, Blackbaud, Bound, DragonFly, Eventlink, Rank One, ScheduleStar/Big Teams, or Google Calendar, and sync sportsYou calendars with Google Calendar, iCal, and Outlook. Pro adds scheduled messages, enhanced calendar views, cross-content search, media downloads, calendar printing, priority support, and dark mode. Pro upgrades are available in the mobile app only. sportsYou says data is encrypted, stored in the United States, and student data is never sold.

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.
