The Full Squad vs Teamer, Spond and Pitchero.
Most comparison pages are a wall of ticks for the home team. This one names names: where The Full Squad differs from Teamer, Spond and Pitchero, and where they still beat us today, stated first.
Line by line.
The square mark shows where we come out ahead. One row goes against us, and it matters more than the rest put together: you can use Spond or Pitchero today, and you cannot use us until winter 2026. Teamer has closed. The rest comes from what those platforms publish.

| Comparison area | The Full Squad | Teamer, Spond and Pitchero, typically |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | The Full SquadFootball clubs and academies, and nothing else. Every screen assumes football, and an academy gets the whole platform with the match parts switched off. | Teamer, Spond and Pitchero, typicallyUsually multi-sport. Rugby, cricket, hockey and football share one product, which means one set of compromises. |
| Pricing | The Full Squad£19, £45 or £89 per club per month billed annually (£22, £53 or £105 monthly), excluding VAT, published for anyone to see. Each level keeps everything from the one below it. | Teamer, Spond and Pitchero, typicallyTiered packages that commonly climb past £80 a month for the full feature set, and the headline price often is not the price you end up on. |
| Third-party advertising | The Full SquadNever, on any level. Your pages carry your sponsors and nobody else, with the sponsor slots built in from day one. | Teamer, Spond and Pitchero, typicallyCheaper packages often carry third-party adverts, and getting rid of them usually means paying for an upgrade. |
| Registration and safeguarding | The Full SquadFull registration on every level, never paywalled, with medical details, GP information and safeguarding records included. A child's registration starts from the club: an invite the club sends, or a family adding another child that the team's manager approves. | Teamer, Spond and Pitchero, typicallyRegistration is commonly included, but the depth often varies by package, and some safeguarding features can sit in the pricier ones. |
| Payment processing | The Full SquadPublished tiered rates from Club up, cheaper the higher you go, and the money settles straight into your club's own bank account. Refund a family and our fee comes back too, pro rata. | Teamer, Spond and Pitchero, typicallyTransaction fees commonly vary by package, with the best rate often kept for the top one. |
| Data ownership and leaving | The Full SquadYour club's data is yours. Cancel and you get full service to the end of the period, then 30 days to ask for your export, registration, medical and safeguarding records included, as files you can take anywhere. | Teamer, Spond and Pitchero, typicallyExports are typically available but often partial, and what you can take with you is not always spelled out before you sign up. |
| Children's data | The Full SquadThe consent rules live in the code, not a policy document. A child's name, photo and stats each need their own current consent before anything appears publicly, and no direct message between an adult and a child can exist anywhere on the platform. | Teamer, Spond and Pitchero, typicallySafeguarding is usually handled through settings and guidance, with day-to-day compliance left to whoever happens to be doing the publishing. |
| Who does the website upkeep | The Full SquadNobody has to be the webmaster. A site comes with every level, and from Club upwards it carries the club's own colours. Results go onto the right team pages as soon as the manager enters them, and the league table can be typed in, or kept up to date from FA Full-Time on Pro. | Teamer, Spond and Pitchero, typicallyTypically a template the club maintains itself. In practice one volunteer owns it, and the site goes quiet when that volunteer moves on. |
| What parents get | The Full SquadOne account for their children's registration, availability, payments and messages, and families keep read access to their children's records while a club is paused for non-payment. | Teamer, Spond and Pitchero, typicallyOften a decent app for availability and messaging, though registration, payments and the club website commonly live in separate systems. |
| Availability | The Full SquadLaunching in winter 2026. Early access is open now. | Teamer, Spond and Pitchero, typicallyEstablished platforms are available today, which is a real advantage if your club needs something before winter 2026. |
Compare against each one.
What each platform does well, where a growing club runs out of road, and what changes when you move to The Full Squad, one competitor at a time.
Teamer
Fixtures and availability, and getting a team out fast. Low friction for a small side with a WhatsApp group and not much else. Closed on 5 October 2026.
Spond
Team chat, availability and general group organising, which works fine for a small side that just needs everyone in one place.
Pitchero
An established club website platform with fixtures and results that plenty of non-league clubs already run on.
Questions clubs ask us.
Is there a free version of The Full Squad?
No, there are three published plans and no free tier. Joining the early access list is free though, with no card and no commitment, and nothing gets charged until your club is live.
Can I import from Teamer, Spond or Pitchero?
Yes. Export your members or players list as a CSV from your current platform and we map the columns with you, rather than leaving you to guess what goes where. See the full detail on the switching page.
What happens to my data if I leave?
You get full service to the end of whatever you have paid for, then 30 days to ask for your export, registration, medical and safeguarding records included, as files you can take anywhere.
Why does the table describe Teamer, Spond and Pitchero as typical instead of quoting a price?
Their packages and menus change more often than we can check, so where we are not certain of the current figure we describe the pattern instead of guessing. Our own three prices are always published on the pricing page.
Which one should I move off first?
Whichever one your club is paying the most for. Teamer closed on 5 October 2026, so clubs that were on it are the ones who need a new home first.
Moving off one of them already?
