As the number of team management platforms continue to grow, we understand that determining the best option for your club can be challenging. However, in this blog, we will explore the key differences between PLAI and the TidyHQ platform, to assist you in making an informed choice for your club.

‍

Subscription Fees and Additional Charges

‍

Contrary to typical team management tools, PLAI provides a subscription-free service, avoiding imposing monthly or yearly fees on clubs. Instead, they opt for a small charge per transaction handled for the club. This model stands out as superior, as it offers clubs a risk-free approach without lofty recurring outlay & in-line with the philosophy of "we don’t earn when you’re not earning."

‍

Similar to other team management technologies, TidyHQ levy a monthly or annual subscription against the club to adopt its technology. This is in addition to a charge against every transaction facilitated on the platform.

‍

If you want to access TidyHQ’s full range of advanced services and functionalities (such as priority support, and an unlimited activity feed), you need to pay either a monthly subscription fee for their Pro version of $79*, or an annual fee of $890*, whereas PLAI offers its entire suite of app features free of charge.

‍

Additionally, discrepancies between these two platforms also lie in the structure of the transaction fees themselves. PLAI Sport imposes a flat fee of 2.85% per transaction plus 50c*, whereas TidyHQ charges a 2.7% fee plus 50c* in addition to its monthly or annual subscription costs, with these transaction fees being even higher for their standard version at 4.7% + 50c*.
