The short version

  • Only TeamSnap has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: CVent Events pricing is by quote only: the pricing page publishes no rate, no minimum and no per seat cost and routes buyers to sales; TeamSnap paid plans are per team per month, so a club that lets each team buy its own subscription spends more in total than the organisation product would cost and gets no consolidated administration.
  • They diverge on capability: CVent Events covers Event registration, TeamSnap covers Rosters and availability.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

CVent Events

  • Pricing is by quote only: the pricing page publishes no rate, no minimum and no per seat cost and routes buyers to sales
  • The Professional tier includes 15 user logins; unlimited logins require Enterprise
  • Professional licenses individual solutions such as Registration, Attendee Hub and OnArrival separately rather than bundling them
  • Bundled access to all solutions requires the Enterprise tier

TeamSnap

  • Paid plans are per team per month, so a club that lets each team buy its own subscription spends more in total than the organisation product would cost and gets no consolidated administration.
  • The free plan is funded by advertising shown to parents and players, which some clubs and schools consider unacceptable and only discover after rollout.
  • On the club and league side a large share of the cost is the processing fee on registration payments, so the quoted platform fee understates what families and the organisation pay across a season.
  • Statistics, scoring and any form of video or performance analysis are minimal, so a competitive programme needs a second product for anything beyond administration.
  • Governance features that national bodies increasingly require, background screening and compliance tracking among them, are not covered, which is exactly where SportsEngine wins organisation-level deals.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

TeamSnap: Is the free plan genuinely free?

Yes, and it is paid for by advertising shown to parents and players in the application. Removing the advertising is one of the reasons teams upgrade.

TeamSnap: Should each team buy its own subscription?

No. If you have more than a few teams, the club and league product costs less in total and gives you consolidated rosters, registration and scheduling.

TeamSnap: What does registration actually cost the club?

The platform fee plus a processing percentage on every payment. Model the processing on your expected registration volume before comparing quotations.

TeamSnap: Does it handle statistics and scoring?

Barely. It is an administration and communication tool, not a performance one.
