Best club management software – 2026 comparison
Free plans and payment fees for the six tools UK clubs ask about most.
*Pitchero payment tools are on paid packages. Pricing and features are based on public information (2026) and may change – verify on each provider's site. This guide is published by SportMember.
The three things that matter most
Cost & payment fees
Most tools are free to start, so the real cost is the fee on money you collect. We compared the published transaction fees for each.
Features & breadth
Members, payments, scheduling, communication – plus extras like a club website, online booking and a webshop.
Ease for volunteers
Club software is run by volunteers. Quick setup, a tidy app for members and parents, and UK support all count.

How clubs made the choice
Committees weighing up the options for the season ahead.
“We shortlisted three tools. The payment-fee comparison made the decision easy – it was the number our treasurer cared about most.”
“What sold us was getting members, a website and booking in one place – without paying extra for each part.”
“An honest comparison was refreshing. We picked what fit our club, set it up in an afternoon and never looked back.”
