Leaving TeamSnap
TeamSnap is a good team app. It is not a front office.
Once a club is past a few teams — real fee schedules, families with three children, a treasurer who needs an aging report — the money side is where it stops keeping up.
Side by side
Including the rows we lose. A table where one column wins everything is not worth reading.
| TeamSnap | Run The Diamond | |
|---|---|---|
| Built around | A team: schedule, availability, chat | An organization: dues, families, compliance, reporting |
| One balance per family | Payments tracked per team | One running balance across every child and every fee type |
| Delinquency reporting | Limited | Aging by bucket, who owes what, and what failed this week |
| Payment plans | Basic instalments | Automatic retries on day 1, 3 and 7, then escalation to you |
| Age divisions | Check with TeamSnap | League age from your sanctioning body's cutoff, with overlaps flagged |
| Whose brand parents see | TeamSnap's | Yours, including your own domain and sending address |
| Scheduling and availability | Yes, and it is what they are good at | No, and we are not planning to |
| Live scoring | GameChanger | No |
| Migration | — | Free. Export your roster and we map the columns |
Migration
Moving over takes an evening.
Export your roster from TeamSnap, upload the file, and match the columns. We flag possible duplicates before they land rather than after, so importing twice does not double your club.
Free on every tier, and self-serve. The Organization tier includes somebody from here doing it with you.

Most clubs keep both, at first
We don't do scheduling or availability, and we are not planning to — TeamSnap and GameChanger are good at those and we would lose by fighting there. The common pattern is coaches keeping the team app for the week-to-week while the club runs its dues, registration and paperwork here. Nothing about moving your money over asks a coach to change how they run a Tuesday practice.
Bring your export. We'll map it on the call.
Thirty minutes against your own roster, and you keep the demo club afterwards.
