A SportEasy alternative for your weekly game
SportEasy is an app for managing sports teams and clubs, used by managers, coaches, players and parents. If your group is the same friends playing football every week, you might want something built just for that. Squadcard is an app for football groups that play every week: who's in, fair teams, and ratings from your mates.
SportEasy and Squadcard, side by side
We make Squadcard, so we’re biased. Everything about SportEasy comes from SportEasy’s own pages (listed at the bottom), checked on 15 October 2026.

When SportEasy is the better choice
If you coach or manage a team through a season, with a calendar of games, practices and events, line-ups with tactics and substitutes, and the team's messages in one app, SportEasy is built for that, and it works for clubs and for sports other than football. Squadcard is narrower: one group of friends and one weekly game.
When Squadcard fits better
- The same group every week: one squad, one weekly game, 5-a-side to 11-a-side.
- Fair teams: picked from ratings the players give each other after every game, so they get fairer the longer you play.
- A reason to come back: player of the match, Team of the Week and a player card that moves with your form, ready to share in the group chat.
- Money without payment fees: Squadcard tracks who owes; your players pay you however they already do.
- Nothing to install for players: they join from a link on any phone.

There’s nothing to import: the ratings build up from your games. Want to try the team picking first? The free team generator works without an account.
Questions
Is Squadcard a good SportEasy alternative?
For a group of friends who play football every week, yes: it's built for exactly that, with fair teams and ratings from the players. For running a whole team, club or league, SportEasy is likely the better fit.
Is Squadcard free?
Joining a squad, voting, your card and stats are always free. Starting a new squad needs Squad Pro (7 days free on the yearly plan), and one Squad Pro covers the whole squad. Squads started before 5 October 2026 stay free.
Does Squadcard take payments?
No. Squadcard works out who owes what and keeps track of who's paid, but the money goes between you and your players as it does now. It never passes through Squadcard, so there are no payment fees. For SportEasy's own payment options, see its plans.
Do my players need to download an app?
Not for Squadcard. Players join, say if they're in and vote from a link, on any phone, Android included. The organiser can use the website or the iPhone app.
Can I use Squadcard and SportEasy together?
Yes. You can keep your team or club in SportEasy and run your weekly kickabout in Squadcard. They don't connect to each other.
