Frequently asked questions

What is sports league management software?+

League management software is the system that runs the season: registrations, fixtures, schedules, fees, team and player communication, results and standings. The right platform turns a multi-team competition into a single coordinated workflow instead of a patchwork of WhatsApp groups, Excel sheets and bank transfers.

Is PlyrHQ a federation-grade league system?+

No, and we don't pretend to be. PlyrHQ is built for amateur leagues, multi-team clubs, academies and seasonal competitions — typically up to a few dozen teams. Federations and national governing bodies usually pick SportsEngine, PlayHQ or LeagueApps. If that's you, we'll say so.

Can PlyrHQ handle league scheduling and fixtures?+

Yes — for small and amateur leagues. PlyrHQ covers training and match scheduling, RSVPs, attendance, payments and team-level communication. For full round-robin fixture generators with promotion/relegation logic across hundreds of teams, federation-grade platforms remain stronger.

How much does league management software cost in 2026?+

Pricing in 2026 ranges from free tiers (Spond, TeamSnap Basic) up to custom federation contracts (SportsEngine, LeagueApps, PlayHQ) that run into thousands per season. PlyrHQ sits in the predictable middle: €49/month Pro and €99/month Legendary, no per-team fees and a 3-day Pro trial.
