Pitchero alternative for leagues and tournaments
Pitchero is a club website, app and payments platform: Free is one team with third-party advertising and no payment processing, Standard is £38 a month for up to 20 teams, Pro is £99 a month with no advertising, and a club's fixtures and league tables flow in from a UK competition database. EasyChamp is where the organizer builds the competition itself: fixtures generated from the format, a table computed from every score, single and double elimination, and a public league site at your own easychamp.com address with no ad slots on any plan. It does not read Pitchero's UK fixture network.

Switching
Moving from Pitchero
If you are a UK club whose league is in Pitchero's competition database and you want a website that fills itself from it, Pitchero does that and EasyChamp does not. EasyChamp is for the person who runs the competition, or for a club whose league has no feed.
There is no import from Pitchero. Teams and players can be imported from a spreadsheet (CSV) in the console. Historical results migration is delivered with Club App Pro engagements. You recreate the competition in the console (teams, format, rounds), generate the fixtures, then adjust dates with the bulk scheduler.
Pitchero prices in pounds, dollars and other currencies; EasyChamp prints US dollars. Entry fees on EasyChamp settle through Stripe into the organizer's own connected account.
