Why is it free?

We believe every organiser — from school sports coordinators to community club admins — deserves great tools. The free plan is our way of making professional tournament management accessible to everyone.

We earn revenue from larger events and organisations that need premium features: unlimited teams, custom branding, payment collection, and priority support.

The free plan supports all 15+ sports available on What's Score — volleyball, badminton, cricket, football, basketball, table tennis, tennis, squash, and more. No sport is paywalled.
