Beleeg runs your whole adult league free for the organizer, with no subscription and no per-team charge: the schedule, scores, standings, lineups, RSVPs, sign-ups, and dues in one place, and we do the import for you. BenchApp’s League plan is $10 per team a month, and it fits better if your players want reminders by text message or a store download available today. Beleeg’s iOS app is awaiting Apple review.
Both run adult rec leagues: schedule, scores, standings, and sign-ups. BenchApp charges the league $10 per team a month (or $100 per team a year) for its League plan. Beleeg charges no subscription and keeps a flat $3 from each online payment instead.
