FAQ

Switching questions

Is Play 2 Earn a full SportsEngine alternative?

For clubs and leagues that need scheduling, registration, standings, referees, team chat and player profiles: yes, and it's free to start. Book a demo and we'll check your exact setup.

How do payments work?

Your club or league connects its own Stripe account. Families pay you directly at Stripe's standard rate. Play 2 Earn doesn't charge a subscription.

How long does switching take?

Most clubs are set up in an evening. Import rosters from a spreadsheet, invite coaches, publish the schedule.

Is Play 2 Earn free for clubs?

Free to start. Club Starter is $0 for up to 10 teams, Club Pro is $49.67 USD/month for 11 to 25 teams, and Club Unlimited is $99.67 for 26 or more teams. League Starter is $0 for up to 10 clubs, League Pro is $97.85 USD/month for 11 to 25 clubs, and League Unlimited is $196.35 for 26 or more clubs. Every organization feature is on every plan. Player and parent accounts are free; optional Player Pro is separate.

Can I see it before I switch?

Yes. Book a live demo and we'll walk through your own club or league, including how to move your rosters.

Is SportsEngine HQ free?

SportsEngine HQ advertises a free trial, while its published HQ plans start at $67 per month when billed annually or $79 month to month. Confirm a quote for your organization.

What does SportsEngine HQ include?

SportsEngine lists registration, payments, schedules, rosters, messaging, a team app and a website among HQ features. Package details and add-ons vary.

Does SportsEngine charge payment fees?

Its published HQ pricing lists a preferred processing rate of 3.25% plus $1.50. Verify your contract and payment method before comparing totals.

Is SportsEngine good for a large league?

SportsEngine supports large organizations. The better fit depends on required integrations, reporting, membership rules, price and onboarding. Compare a real season workflow in a demo.

Can I move from SportsEngine to Play 2 Earn?

Yes. Export roster and registration data you are allowed to use, import the roster, then rebuild schedules and payment settings. Run one division as a pilot.

Do I need SportsEngine Play to livestream?

SportsEngine Play is a separate video product with its own pricing. Ask which streaming features your HQ package includes before buying.

What should I check before switching sports team apps?

Compare the tools your club actually uses: registration, payments, schedules, messages, parent access, referees and reports. Test one team first, then invite the rest.

Can parents and players use Play 2 Earn without a paid account?

Yes. Parent and player accounts are free. Club registration is currently part of the limited-time free offer shown above.

Can I try Play 2 Earn before moving my whole league?

Yes. Book a demo, walk through your schedule and registration needs, and start with one club or season before moving everyone.

Do I need a credit card to register a club?

No credit card is required to create your club account. Stripe connection is needed only if you want to collect online payments.

Vendor pricing and feature details: official Sportsengine information. Check current terms before deciding.
