How we compare
Get The Game On vs Spond, Pitchero and TeamApp
Choose Get The Game On if you want one app for managers and players, payments on the fixture, and sport-specific tools (Rugby Moves, Cricket Fantasy, Find). Choose Spond if you mainly need lightweight group messaging and RSVPs. Choose Pitchero if a public club website and traditional club-presence tools matter more than a single mobile workflow. Choose TeamApp if your club is already deep in that ecosystem and only needs basic scheduling.

In the app
What the differentiators look like — not just checkmarks.
Where Get The Game On wins
One app — no separate manager tool
Managers, players and parents use the same app. Pitchero’s manager/admin split is the classic pain point we designed against.
Pay on the fixture, training or event
Requests, products, instalments and status live where the activity is — not a disconnected payments silo.
Find opponents and players
Post open dates, mark fixtures looking for players, and let players apply to games outside their club.
Rugby Moves
Animated playbooks with Move Builder (Switch, Loop, Miss…), Focus player, and Manual defence — free for rugby clubs.
Cricket Fantasy League
Internal club fantasy powered by real entered stats — squads, budgets, transfers, optional entry fees.
Where others are stronger
No product wins every dimension. Here's where we'd still point you elsewhere.
Pitchero
Public club website & shop
Pitchero still leads if your priority is a full public club site, news hub and online shop as the centre of gravity. We’re mobile-club-ops first.
Spond
Ultra-light social groups
Spond is simpler if you only need chat, polls and RSVPs for a casual side with no sport structure, team sheets or payments workflow.
TeamApp
Existing TeamApp clubs
If your whole league already lives in TeamApp, switching cost can outweigh feature gaps — evaluate migration effort honestly.

Pitchero
Pick if…
- A public club website is non-negotiable

FAQ
Is Get The Game On a free Spond / Pitchero alternative?
The app is free for clubs and players. You only pay low card processing when you collect money (typically around 2% as we roll out our updated payments partner). We're an alternative if you want one app plus sport tools — not a clone of either product.
Can I switch mid-season?
Yes for most clubs: recreate teams, invite members, and move fixtures across. The hard part is change management, not software lock-in. Start with one team if you want a soft landing.
Do you replace a club website?
No — and we say so on purpose. Link your existing site from club settings. If a public website is your main need, Pitchero may still fit better.
Is Rugby Moves or Fantasy League locked behind a paywall?
No. Both are included. Fantasy is cricket-only; Moves is rugby-only.
How is this different from “just using WhatsApp + a spreadsheet”?
Availability, selection, team sheets, fixture-linked payments, stats and Find live in one place — so you’re not reconciling three chats and a treasurer spreadsheet every Thursday.
