FAQ

Is DugoutHQ cheaper than TeamSnap?

DugoutHQ is free to run; the only fee is 5% on registrations collected by card, and e-Transfer or cash registrations carry none. TeamSnap's pricing page (checked October 21, 2026) lists single teams from $0 with a paid upgrade and custom quotes for clubs and leagues, so a league price is not published to compare.

Can coaches keep TeamSnap if the league moves to DugoutHQ?

Yes. Plenty of leagues run registration, schedules, standings and the league site on DugoutHQ while coaches keep TeamSnap for team messaging.

Does DugoutHQ have team chat like TeamSnap?

No. DugoutHQ sends push notifications and in-event announcements, but it has no team chat, SMS or email blasts.
