What it really isLeagueLobster — sports league scheduling and management software for recreational and amateur league organizers.
Our takeLeagueLobster manages real sports leagues, handling game scheduling, team registration, standings, and payments.
The PRO plan is $19.95/mo, based on games scheduled per month. A genuine free tier covers up to 50 games/month.
Why we rate itThe free tier is genuinely usable for small leagues, and the games-based pricing model is fair — you pay for what you schedule, not per team or per user.
The catchGame-count limits mean active leagues can outgrow tiers quickly during peak seasons; overage fees can make costs unpredictable.

Trade-offs

Friction report

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

  1. Time to value
    Fast: create a schedule and share it with teams within minutes of signing up.
  2. Scale breakpoint
    Game-count caps require plan upgrades for leagues running 500+ games/mo; multi-season organizations may find tiering complex.
  3. Walled garden
    Low: standard data exports available; no heavy platform dependency.
Still a fit?
If none of these block you, start on the free plan.
