Spond alternative
A Spond Alternative That Keeps Team Money
Monthly or annual pricing for the coach, a 0% platform fee on team fees, and families in free.
14 days free. Cancel anytime, no charge. Free for players and parents
TeamLockIn is a team management app for coaches and program directors: chat, schedules, RSVPs, fees and training in one place. As a Spond alternative, the difference shows up where the money moves.
Coaches pay from $15 monthly or $149 annually, depending on how many teams they run. Team fees and fundraisers carry a 0% platform fee, so what families pay goes to the team minus the card processing fee, which you can pass on.
The same season, fewer apps
Everything a coach touches in a normal week lives on one screen instead of a chat app, a calendar invite and a payment link.
- Group chat with photos, video, docs and voice, plus private staff rooms
- Games and practices with RSVPs and reminders that expire when they are done
- One ledger for card, cash and Zelle so you can see who still owes
- Broadcasts across multiple teams
- Training courses for sale on Plus and Premium
What free usually costs
When an app is free for the coach, the platform generally earns on registrations, dues or processing markups. On a team collecting a few thousand dollars a season, a small percentage is often larger than a TeamLockIn subscription for the whole year.
TeamLockIn charges the coach directly and leaves the team's money alone. Training sales are the only place TeamLockIn takes a cut, and the coach keeps 90%.
Getting families across
Share a join code, a link or a QR at practice and parents are in inside a minute, on iPhone or Android.
Post the first game and it appears in chat, on the schedule and in every family's calendar at once.
