Comparison
FutbolCRM vs SportMember
SportMember is one of the biggest multi-sport club platforms in Europe — 46,000+ clubs and 2.5M members by its own count — built around a shared club calendar, centralized communication and facility booking. Its Basic tier is €0 per member per month forever, with advertising and key functions restricted; PRO unlocks everything at €0.18 per member per month with a €22/month minimum (ex-VAT) — its own example: a 250-member club pays €45/month, €540 a year. Online payments run through AltaPay at €0.40 + 1% per transaction, and the Premium website add-on is €25/month. What it does not carry is football-specific depth: no per-player file with documents, no scouting or match analysis, and no AI hunting money for the club. FutbolCRM is a football club CRM from €49/month, published — per-player files with family contacts, automatic fee collection reconciled per family, and AI agents that chase grants and sponsors. Choose SportMember to run a multi-sport club from €0 and pay when it gets serious; choose FutbolCRM when fees, families and new revenue are the weekly job.

Head-to-head
| FutbolCRM | SportMember | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Fixed plans, published: from €49/month (Pro Club €149/month) — the price is the price, however many members you have | Basic €0/member/month forever — with ads and key functions restricted. PRO unlocks everything at €0.18/member/month with a €22/month minimum (ex-VAT); own example: 250 members = €45/month = €540/year. Payments via AltaPay at €0.40 + 1% per transaction; Premium website add-on €25/month |
| What the product actually is | A football club CRM: per-player file with documents and family contacts, fee status per family, match and training operations tied to the record | A multi-sport club platform: shared club calendar, centralized communication, facility and equipment booking, club terms — the same structure for football, handball, curling or rugby (46,000+ clubs, 2.5M members) |
| Fees & reconciliation | Automatic monthly fee collection with per-family reconciliation — the treasurer's spreadsheet disappears | Collections run through AltaPay (€0.40 + 1% per transaction, paid by the club or passed to the member); matching who paid stays with your board — and on the free Basic tier, key functions stay locked until you upgrade |
| AI | AI agents included in every plan that go after new money: grants and sponsorship outreach | No agentic AI — the product automates calendar, communication and booking, not funding: nobody chases grants or sponsors for the board |
| Sport depth | Football-native: per-player file with documents and medical data, call-ups and match ops tied to the record, and a path into scouting, video and finances | Deliberately sport-agnostic — its genuine strength for umbrella clubs running five sports on one member registry, and exactly why a football board outgrows it: no match analysis, no scouting, no per-player documents |
| Best for | Clubs and academies whose weekly pain is fees, families and funding — that want a price they can take to the board | Multi-sport and volunteer-run clubs that want real structure starting at €0 (ads included), and PRO once the member registry and calendar become the operating system of the club |
Verdict
Two honest models. SportMember's free Basic tier is a real €0 — you pay with ads and locked functions — and its PRO is one of the cheapest per-member rates in the market: at 250 members it costs €540/year on their own example, below FutbolCRM's €588 entry plan. The cost curve keeps climbing with your roster (own arithmetic: the fixed €49 plan wins outright past ~270 members), the AltaPay fee takes a slice of every collection, and none of it reconciles fees per family or hunts grants for the board. If you run a multi-sport club and want structure for free, start there. If your week is players, families, reconciled fees and new money, FutbolCRM does that work from €49/month published — and its price stops rising when your club grows.
When to choose SportMember
SportMember genuinely fits when the registry spans several sports and the budget is zero: umbrella clubs that need one calendar, one communication channel and facility booking across every team; volunteer-run clubs that accept ads on the free tier; and growing clubs that want the cheapest per-member unlock (€22/month minimum covers roughly the first 120 members — own arithmetic). If you need per-family fee reconciliation, player documents or funding agents, it is not your tool.

FAQ
What operators ask before they sign.
How much does SportMember cost for a club?
Two tiers, published on its site: Basic at €0 per member per month forever — with ads and key functions restricted — and PRO at €0.18 per member per month with a €22/month minimum (ex-VAT). SportMember's own example: a 250-member club pays €45/month, or €540 a year. On top of the subscription, online payments run through AltaPay at €0.40 + 1% per transaction and the Premium website add-on costs €25/month. Own arithmetic, labeled as ours: the €22 minimum already covers up to ~122 members, so smaller clubs pay the flat minimum rather than the per-member rate.
Is SportMember really free for clubs?
The Basic tier is: €0 per member per month, indefinitely, in exchange for advertising and restricted functions — a legitimate trade, not a trick. The costs arrive in three places if the club grows: the PRO unlock (€0.18/member/month, €22/month minimum), the AltaPay fee on every online payment (€0.40 + 1%), and add-ons like the €25/month Premium website. The honest comparison is effective annual cost, not the sticker: at 250 members the paid route is €540/year on their own example — still below many fixed plans, but no longer zero.
Is SportMember a good fit for football clubs in Spain?
As a multi-sport club platform, yes: the product exists in Spanish, it is one of the largest platforms in Europe by its own count (46,000+ clubs, 2.5M members) and the free entry is real. Its limits show with football-specific operations: no per-player file with documents and medical data, no scouting or match analysis, fee collection without per-family reconciliation, and no help chasing grants or sponsors. A football board whose weekly pain is fees, families and funding usually fits a football-specific club CRM like FutbolCRM better — from €49/month published, with AI agents for grants and sponsors included.
