Compare
A fair look at Pitchero, Spond and ClubTitan.
Pitchero and Spond are serious products used by thousands of clubs, and each is genuinely good at something. Here is how the three compare on the things that decide a club’s year — checked against the live products and their published help centres, July 2026.
| Pitchero | Spond | ClubTitan | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What you pay | £418–£1,089 a year depending on package, plus an effective card rate of about 2.6% + 20p on the top tier. | Free to use. Card payments cost 2.5% + 20p in the UK. | Free to use. Payments cost Stripe’s standard rate plus our 0.6% — around 2.1% + 20p all-in, the lowest of the three. |
| Club website | Included — a mature site with news, sponsors and league data, on one template family with a dated editor. | A £19 + VAT/month add-on. Their own documentation doesn’t cover league tables, SEO or sponsor management. | A modern site generated for your club, with league data and sponsors. Premium website £14.99/month — free once the club takes £2,000+/month through payments. |
| Mobile app | Apps for managers and fans, but dated — the weakest part of the product. | Best-in-class, and honestly the benchmark: one-tap RSVPs, invites that reach the right adult, zero setup for parents. | Built to that same bar — one app for parents, players and coaches — plus WhatsApp for the families who never open another app. |
| Moving your club in | No import tooling — you rebuild by hand. | Self-service member import from a spreadsheet template. | An automated migration wizard: members, teams, payments setup and website content brought across, with a preview of your migrated club before you commit. |
| League data (fixtures, results, tables) | Automated FA league data — a genuine strength they’ve earned. | Not offered. | Automated fixtures, results and tables, on your site and in the app. |
| Safeguarding model | Age-threshold redirect: messages to under-14s go to the registered parent; under-16s’ parents receive a copy. | Structural guardian accounts: juniors can’t send or receive direct messages; invites and payments go to the verified guardian. A strong model. | The strongest of both: guardians own the child’s account, and any coach-to-minor message is automatically copied to the guardian — enforced in the platform, not by policy. |

Where they’re strong
Spond’s finance layer is genuinely strong — instalments, discounts, payment splitting and multiple club accounts — and its app is the reason parents love it. Pitchero’s membership database is mature, and its automated league data is real and valuable.
The difference is the combination. No one else offers the free model and app polish and the website with league data and an automated way in — with the lowest payment cost of the three and your data exportable at any time.
