Switching
Compare subscriptions, payment processing, adverts, team limits and competition formats for your season. EasyChamp charges no transaction fee; payment processor fees apply separately.
There is no import from LeagueRepublic. You recreate the competition in the console (teams, format, rounds), generate the fixtures, then adjust dates with the bulk scheduler; results history does not come across.
Both products settle registration money through Stripe into your own account, so the payout side of a switch is a Stripe connection, not a bank change.
