Feature Comparison
| Feature | leaguearc | LeagueApps |
|---|---|---|
| Live Scoring & Standings | Tap-to-score from any phone. Every score instantly updates standings, stats, and leaderboards. AI scoresheet scanner reads handwritten stats from a photo — no manual entry. | Score reporting is available but not a core focus. Standings updates may require manual steps. No AI-powered stat entry. |
| Registration & Payments | Custom forms with Stripe payments, installment plans, discount codes, and family accounts. A 1% platform fee applies on top of Stripe's standard processing rate — no per-player or per-team subscription fees. | Strong registration engine, but LeagueApps charges a per-transaction convenience fee on top of payment processor fees. For a league processing 300 registrations at $150 each, that adds up fast. |
| Scheduling | Smart schedule generator builds a full season in clicks. Balances home/away, detects venue conflicts, and publishes directly to your league website. Drag-and-drop rescheduling. | Manual scheduling tools with calendar view. Automated scheduling features are limited or require add-on costs. |

No contracts, cancel anytime. | Per-transaction platform fees on every registration plus monthly subscription costs. No offseason pause option. Pricing can be unpredictable as registration volume grows. |
| League Website | Branded league website with live standings, schedules, and scores that update automatically. Custom domain support included. | Branded league pages with program listings. Deeper customization requires developer assistance or premium tiers. |
