Answers to what leagues ask most when evaluating their options.
leaguearc is built specifically for league operations, not just team communication. We combine AI-powered scheduling, live scoring with instant standings, AI scoresheet scanning, and integrated payments in one modern platform — without the enterprise complexity of larger competitors. A flat 1% platform fee keeps costs predictable. Our interface is designed for volunteer admins who don't have time to learn complicated software.
For most leagues, yes. leaguearc uses flat-rate subscription pricing with a 1% platform fee on transactions — no hidden per-team fees. Leagues processing over 200 registrations typically save hundreds of dollars annually compared to competitors that charge higher convenience fees. And unlike some enterprise platforms, we don't require annual contracts.
Absolutely. leaguearc supports CSV imports for rosters, schedules, and historical data. Our onboarding team guides you through the entire migration process—we've helped hundreds of leagues switch from TeamSnap, LeagueApps, SportsConnect, and others. Most leagues are fully transitioned within a week with zero downtime.
leaguearc offers a fully responsive progressive web app that works on any smartphone or tablet. It supports home-screen installation and offline score entry. While it's not a native app store download, coaches and parents find it just as easy to use—and it means we can ship improvements faster.
leaguearc supports basketball, soccer, hockey, volleyball, and more — with sport-specific stats and scoring rules. The platform is sport-agnostic, so any sport with teams, schedules, and standings works. We can configure custom sport types for niche leagues.
Join the leagues that have already made the switch. Plans start at $19/month with seasonal billing.
