LeagueLobster is a strong scheduler with fair monthly pricing. Leagues look elsewhere when they outgrow the schedule: they want umpires, stats and brackets in the same tool, or no monthly plan at all. Here is what fits.

## Why leagues look for a LeagueLobster alternative

- Free schedules carry ads and cannot be exported
- Playoffs, divisions and constraints need the $29.95/mo PRO plan
- Scheduling-first: no umpire scheduling or player stats

## 01. DugoutHQ (ours)

Baseball, softball and slo-pitch leagues that want the whole league in one free tool

**Pricing:** Free to run, no subscription; 5% on registrations paid by card

**Strengths:**

- Brackets seeded from pool play, no monthly plan

- Fewer scheduling constraints than LeagueLobster PRO

## FAQ

### What is a free LeagueLobster alternative without ads?

DugoutHQ is free to run with no ads; the only fee is 5% on registrations collected by card. TeamLinkt's Core plan is also free, with a quoted payment rate.

### Which alternative has the best scheduler?

For pure scheduling with complex constraints, LeagueLobster PRO is hard to beat. DugoutHQ's generator covers round robins with a fairness report, and adds the rest of the league around it.

### How do we move our schedule from LeagueLobster?

On a paid plan, export the schedule to CSV/Excel from the Share dialog and send it to us with your rosters. We load it for free.
