GameChanger Review 2026: Pricing, Pros & Cons

GameChanger is the best-known scorekeeping and streaming app in baseball and softball, and it earns that. It is a team product: families pay, or the team buys a season pass, to watch streams, see stats and clip highlights. It does not run a league: no registration, standings across a division, schedules for every diamond or umpires.

What GameChanger Is

GameChanger is a scorekeeping, stats and live-streaming app for baseball and softball teams, part of the DICK'S Sporting Goods family. A scorekeeper records each play, and families follow along with play-by-play, box scores, streams and video.

Paid features are sold to followers individually, or to the whole team through a Team Pass that team staff buy for one season. Clubs can buy passes in bulk at a discount by contacting GameChanger.

GameChanger Pricing

Team Pass is a one-time purchase per team, per season, that unlocks paid features for every follower. Individual follower subscriptions also exist; we only quote the Team Pass prices from GameChanger's own page.
