The free Sporty alternative
The same free club website, without 4.675% of every payment.
No card required. Set up in minutes.
Sporty gives Australian sports clubs a sponsored website and mobile app at no cost, and it does things ClubCP does not, including competition draws and results, Xero and MYOB sync, and a phone helpdesk. The cost sits in two places: the free plan shows Sporty's own advertising on your site and app, and online payments are charged at a flat 4.675%. ClubCP charges 1% with no subscription and no advertising, so on $20,000 of payments a year the fee is about $200 rather than about $935.

When Sporty is the better choice
No tool wins for everyone. Sporty is the stronger pick when:
- You run a competition rather than a club calendar. Sporty's SKED handles fixtures, results, standings tables and live game-day scoring, and ClubCP does none of it.
- Your treasurer wants payments and registrations flowing into Xero or MYOB automatically.
- You want someone to build the site for you and a phone number to call when it breaks. Sporty has a helpdesk and a design team, and ClubCP is email support from a small team.
- You are a school or a governing body that needs official national-body registration forms or a multi-level database across affiliated clubs.
Frequently asked questions
Sporty is free too, so why would I switch?
Because of what happens when you take money. Sporty charges a flat 4.675% on every payment, and ClubCP charges 1%. On $20,000 collected in a year that is about $935 against about $200. The free Sporty plan also shows Sporty's advertising on your website and in the app, and limits you to 2 administrators and 2 forms.
Is ClubCP a full replacement for Sporty?
Not if you run competitions. Sporty does draws, results, standings and game-day scoring, and it syncs to Xero and MYOB, none of which ClubCP does. We would rather tell you that now than have you find out after moving. If what you run is members, events, ticketing and messaging, ClubCP covers it at no cost.
If ClubCP is free, what happens to my club if it goes away?
A fair question to ask of anything free, and the honest answer is that you should never be locked in. Your members, events and payment records are exportable at any time, payments run through your own Stripe account rather than ours, and your club's data is yours to take elsewhere. Ask us at support@clubcp.app if you want an export before you commit.
