Why TeamMates is Better
Managing a team shouldn’t feel like managing a business. We created TeamMates because other platforms were either too complicated, too expensive, or just not built with coaches and managers in mind. TeamMates is everything you need — nothing you don’t — designed by real coaches for real teams.
Here’s how we compare to the other options out there:
TeamMates vs. TeamSnap (click here for full comparison)
• TeamSnap is powerful, but locks essential features behind paywalls.
• The interface is cluttered and confusing for new users.
• Coaches and parents often feel overwhelmed.
• TeamMates offers all the core tools — without the cost or complexity.
TeamMates vs. SportsEngine (click here for full comparison)
• SportsEngine is built for big organizations, not individual teams.
• Setup is complex, support is slow, and everyday team use is clunky.
• TeamMates is lean, fast, and built for the people running teams — not just admins.
