The bilingual, AI-first JOIN alternative for sports clubs
JOIN sports apps are popular for European youth clubs. PlyrHQ is the AI-first alternative with SmartBill for Romania, automated recurring fees, AI club reports and bilingual EN + RO across coach, parent and athlete apps.
Why clubs switch from JOIN to PlyrHQ
Bilingual EN + RO out of the box
Coaches, parents and athletes pick their language per device. No localisation contractor required, no second instance to maintain.
AI assistant on club data
Ask in plain language: 'Show me athletes with overdue payments', 'Compare attendance for U14 vs U16'. PlyrHQ answers, no SQL.
SmartBill invoicing for Romania
Compliant Romanian e-invoicing built in. Stripe handles payments globally. No accountant glue work.
Mobile-first attendance, online or offline
Mark attendance from a phone in seconds, even with no Wi-Fi. Sessions sync the moment the device reconnects.
