Team Scout vs TeamSnap.No ads. Ever. And it's free.

TeamSnap shows ads inside your team's app, and families pay to remove them one phone at a time. Team Scout has no ads on any plan, and it runs the whole program in one app: registration, volunteers, tickets, fundraising and the books.

The ads in your team's app

Your families see ads on TeamSnap. Never on Team Scout.

The TeamSnap app shows banner and full-screen ads. When a team pays for a Premium or Ultra plan, the ad-free experience covers the team owner and managers.13,14

Every family member who wants the ads gone pays TeamSnap on their own phone. TeamSnap's own help center says even that ad-free upgrade does not turn off offers from its partners.13

“Our team pays for premium features but every player/parent must pay more in addition to not be subject to the ad spam.”
A parent's review of the TeamSnap app, App Store, 1 star, February 11, 202616

Team Scout: no ads for anyone, on any plan, including free.

Switching from TeamSnap

Same team feed. None of the ads. A lot more in the same app.

Most TeamSnap users live in the team feed and the schedule. Team Scout's feed is built the same way: invite parents, post photos, RSVP events. It is ad-free, with ticketing, registrations, fundraising and a team website in the same app. Community is free, so you can run them side-by-side until everyone's settled.

Plan your move from TeamSnap

Straight answers.

No. Not on the free Community plan, not on any paid plan. Ever. Your team's feed is your team's feed. The platform earns money from plan subscriptions and a published platform fee on what organizations collect. It also earns ticket fees paid by buyers ($1 up to $10, plus 4% of anything above $10) and optional donor tips. It does not sell your families' attention.

There are two ways families end up paying TeamSnap to escape ads. (1) The team plan. TeamSnap's published team plans run from $10.83 a month per team (Premium, billed annually) to $25.99 a month per team (Ultra, billed monthly). Both list an “ad-free experience” for the team owner and managers. With eight teams, that's about $87 to $208 a month. (2) The family's own upgrade. Any family member can buy TeamSnap's ad-free upgrade on their own phone, and TeamSnap's help center says it “does not disable exclusive offers from TeamSnap partners.” Team Scout charges per organization, not per team or per family. One plan covers your whole organization, starting at $29 a month, with no ads on any plan including free. (Team plan pricing: teamsnap.com/teams. The family upgrade: TeamSnap's help center.)

Yes. TeamSnap lets you export roster CSVs at any plan tier. Bring those over and we'll help you map the fields during setup. Family contact info, jersey numbers, positions: straightforward. Old chat threads don't come over, so the team feed starts fresh.

TeamSnap for Business is a different product than TeamSnap for Teams. It is built for tournament directors and league operators, with bracketing, scheduling for many teams, and registration. Team Scout's registration and ticketing cover the program-and-team side well. If a multi-team tournament with brackets is your main use, TeamSnap Tournaments or a tournament-specific tool may fit better. Tell us what you're trying to do and we will tell you whether we're the right tool.

Waud Capital Partners, a private-equity firm, took a majority stake in TeamSnap in April 2021 (TeamSnap's announcement). Team Scout answers to the programs that use it. Every plan and fee is on the pricing page.
