Plans & pricing
ClubMeister plans & pricing
Every club runs on one of three plans — Free, Club or League — and your plan decides how many members you can have, your payment fee, and whether SMS reminders and tournaments are switched on.
What this covers
ClubMeister comes in a permanently free plan plus two paid plans — Free, Club and League. The plan is set for the whole club (not per team or per member), so everyone in the club shares the same features. Moving up a plan gives you room for more members, a lower fee on payments you collect, and premium extras like SMS RSVP reminders and tournaments.
This guide explains what each plan unlocks and how to change yours. For today's exact prices, member limits and fees, check the pricing page or open Plan & Billing in the app — those always show the current numbers.
To see your club's current plan and compare the others, open Plan & Billing — in the web sidebar's Manage section, or the mobile drawer's Admin group.
Free plan
Free is a permanent plan — no trial clock — and it covers everything most small teams need day to day:
- The core app: events and RSVPs, team chat, posts and line-ups.
- Payments: you can collect team fees from members even on Free, so you can get money in before you ever pay for ClubMeister. The platform fee is highest on this plan and gets lower as you move up.
- A smaller member capacity, which suits a single squad.
SMS RSVP reminders and tournaments are not part of the Free plan — you'll see them with a lock icon and an option to upgrade.
Collecting payments works on every plan, including Free — only the fee you pay per transaction changes with your plan.
Club plan
Club is the "most popular" step up, built for a growing team or a club with several groups. It includes everything in Free, and adds:
- A larger member capacity so you can invite many more people.
- A lower payment fee than Free on the team fees you collect.
- SMS RSVP reminders — nudge members to respond to an event by text, with a monthly allowance of free reminder texts included.
Tournaments are still reserved for the League plan.
League plan
League is the top plan, for larger clubs and anyone running competitions. It includes everything in Club, and adds:
- Unlimited members.
- The lowest payment fee of any plan.
- A bigger monthly allowance of free SMS RSVP reminders.
- Tournaments & leagues — the only plan that unlocks running tournaments.
SMS reminders & tournaments
Two features are gated behind the paid plans. ClubMeister never hides them — you'll always see them, with a lock icon, so you know what a higher plan offers:
- SMS RSVP reminders unlock from the Club plan. On Free, the Send RSVP reminder button on an event still shows, but tapping it opens an upgrade prompt with a View plans option instead of sending.
- Tournaments are a League feature. On lower plans the Tournaments nav entry stays visible with a lock icon; opening it shows a short "League feature" page with Upgrade to League (for the club admin), View plans and Go back.
Each paid plan includes a set number of free reminder texts per month across all your teams. If you send more than that, reminders keep going for a small per-message charge that's added to your next bill — see Plan & Billing for the current allowance and rate.
Each plan has a member limit. When your club is full, the Invite screen shows an "upgrade to add more" banner and blocks sending new invites — but existing members are never removed. Upgrade to make room for more.
Manage your plan
Open Plan & Billing to see your current plan and every option side by side. A Monthly / Yearly toggle flips the displayed prices, and the yearly option is the cheaper way to pay. Only the club admin can buy or change the plan; other admins see the plans read-only.
- The club admin taps Choose on a paid plan (your current plan is marked and can't be re-selected).
- A secure checkout opens for the plan and billing period you picked. After paying, you land on a confirmation page.
- Once the purchase comes through, your club's plan flips and the new features unlock for the whole club.
If your club already has a paid plan, the same button opens the billing portal instead, where you can switch between monthly and yearly, change plan, or cancel. Cancelling (or a renewal that keeps failing) automatically returns your club to the Free plan.
Prices and limits shown here are described in general terms because they can change. For the exact figures that apply to you right now, always trust Plan & Billing in the app or the pricing page.
Common questions
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The Free plan is permanent and includes the core app — events and RSVPs, chat, posts and line-ups — for smaller teams. You can start collecting payments on Free too; only the premium extras and the larger member capacity are reserved for the paid plans.
What plan do I need to run tournaments?
Tournaments and leagues are part of the League plan. On any lower plan the Tournaments entry stays visible with a lock icon and offers an upgrade path.
What plan do I need for SMS RSVP reminders?
SMS RSVP reminders unlock from the Club plan and up, each with a monthly allowance of free reminder texts. On the Free plan the Send RSVP reminder button is shown with a lock icon and an upgrade prompt.
Who can change the club's plan?
Only the club admin can buy or change the plan from the Plan & Billing screen. Other admins see the plans read-only. A plan applies to the whole club, not to a single team or member.
