EasyChamp

Overview

EasyChamp is competition software for organizers running sports or esports leagues and tournaments. It is best suited to groups that need flexible formats, online entry and a public competition page in one place. Its free tier is generous on competition and player counts, but the eight-team cap and entry charges shape the real cost.

Key features

Organizers can build round-robin schedules, groups, single-elimination or double-elimination brackets, and combine formats within a competition. Standings, referees, venues and match centres extend the tool beyond fixture generation, which is useful for managing an event from its schedule through its results. Support for 44 sport kinds, including 28 esports titles, gives it a broad remit across conventional leagues and gaming competitions.

Teams and players can register online, with fees settling to the organizer’s connected Stripe account. EasyChamp charges 2% plus $0.45 per entry, capped at $10, on every plan; Stripe processing fees are extra. That is a practical way to collect entry fees, but organizers should account for transaction costs even if they stay on the free plan.

Each competition can have a public site on a free easychamp.com address, showing fixtures, standings, brackets, teams and players; custom domains are supported. EasyChamp Club adds schedules, training, attendance, team chat and lineups. The shared Android app is available, while the iOS release is pending Apple approval. Club also includes two result sources, such as PS23, UPSL or league websites, and $10 per month of AI parsing. Sign-in uses Keycloak, and Stripe processes card data without EasyChamp storing full card numbers. Where GDPR applies, EasyChamp identifies contract performance, legitimate interests, consent and legal obligation as legal bases and says it does not sell personal data. Platform support is by email; club support replies within two business days.

Pricing

The Free plan costs nothing, billed Forever, with no card required. It allows unlimited competitions and players, but caps each competition at 8 teams and includes one result source from PS23 or UPSL. It suits small leagues and events that can work within that field size; growing beyond eight teams requires another plan.

Club costs $29 a month, or $290/yr, and has a 14-day free trial. It supports unlimited competitions past 8 teams and adds CSV exports, additional admins, two result sources, $10/month of AI parsing and priority support. This is the recurring option for organizers who need larger fields or multiple admins and want ongoing league operations.

Event Pass costs $39, paid once for one competition past 8 teams. It includes CSV exports for that event and keeps working after archiving; nothing renews. It is the more contained choice for a one-off tournament, rather than a season-to-season club operation.

Club App Pro is $249,999 a month, with sales-led setup paid after consultation. It provides a club’s own app listing on the App Store and Google Play under its name, so it is aimed at clubs seeking branded app listings rather than organizers who only need competition management.

All plans retain the per-entry platform charge of 2% plus $0.45, capped at $10, in addition to Stripe processing fees. The free plan gives up team capacity and paid-plan administration and export tools; the paid plans do not remove transaction charges.

Platforms

EasyChamp is available on web, Android and iOS. The shared Club app is currently available on Android, while the iOS release is pending Apple approval.

Who it's for

Sunday leagues, youth clubs, futsal and five-a-side centres, esports organizers, and office or charity cup organizers are the natural audience. It is a stronger fit for running fixtures, entries and standings than for teams whose main need is ongoing communication: roster management and schedule publishing are supported, but communication tools are not included in the league product.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Multiple fixture formats can be combined, and support for 44 sports and esports titles serves organizers with varied competition structures.
• Pro: Unlimited competitions and players on Free make it possible to run several smaller competitions without a subscription.
• Pro: Public competition pages and online registration connect schedules and standings with the entry process.
• Con: Free competitions stop at eight teams, so a larger field requires Club or a single-event pass.
• Con: Every plan incurs per-entry charges plus Stripe processing fees, which organizers must include in their registration budget.
• Con: The shared Club app is not yet released for iOS, and the league product does not include communication tools.

Alternatives

Competize is another freemium tournament-management option, with a free Friends plan for one competition and a €19 a month Small Tournaments plan; consider it when those stated entry points better fit your budget and scope.

Pitchero offers a free plan limited to one team, with payment processing unavailable and third-party advertising, and a Standard plan at £38 a month; it is worth comparing if a one-team free tier is enough.

SportMember has a free Basic club solution with a club website and transaction charges of £0,35 + 1% of the paid amount; choose it when a free club website is a closer fit than EasyChamp’s competition tools.

TeamPages offers a free single-team Basic plan and a $295 a year Starter plan for up to four Pro teams, with a 2% online-registration fee; it may suit organizations whose needs fit those team limits.

Wooter has a free Starter plan with organization management, paid registration, mass messaging, unlimited seasons and teams, plus its app listing and website; compare it if those organization and messaging functions are the priority.

Matchdae offers a free plan for three teams, 15 player profiles and five news posts per month, alongside a Club plan at $29 a month whose prices increase after beta; it may fit a small club comfortable with those caps and terms.

Stack Team App offers a free plan with no setup fees or ongoing usage costs; it is a comparison point for readers seeking a free app option.

League Builder has a free plan capped at eight teams, 200 players, one admin, one league and 10 MB of storage, with Starter Pro at $19 a month; compare it if those limits and price better match your league.

Sports Website Builders is a broader category to browse when a competition-management product is not the only option under consideration.

Verdict

EasyChamp is a sound choice for organizers who need flexible sports or esports competition formats, online registration and public standings, especially if the free plan’s eight-team limit is enough or a paid plan’s larger fields justify the cost. Look elsewhere if team communication is central, or if per-entry charges and Stripe fees make registration economics less attractive.
