TeamSnap alternative for coaches: The schedule and the chat, plus the coaching.
TeamSnap manages a team: the schedule, availability, messages and payments. Snack does the schedule and messaging too, and the same plan has the playbook, game film, workouts and video lessons. Here is where each one is stronger.
Which one fits your team
Snack fits if
- You coach the team and want the playbook, game film, workouts and video lessons beside the schedule.
- You want no ads for anyone, on any plan.
- You want parents to follow their athlete without counting toward a limit.
TeamSnap fits if
- You manage the team and need invoices, snack sign-ups and lineups.
- You run a club or league and need registration across many teams.
- You want live scoring for families who can't make the game.
- The schedule and messages are all you need, at the lowest price.

TeamSnap costs less
TeamSnap Premium works out to about $130 a year, and Ultra to about $165. Snack's Small Team plan is $700 a year. If the schedule, messages and payments are all your team needs, TeamSnap is the cheaper choice.
Snack costs more because the plan is every app: the playbook, game film, workouts, video lessons, the schedule and chat, and fundraising, with no ads and parents free.
What TeamSnap does that Snack doesn't
If any of these is what your team runs on, TeamSnap is the better fit.
- Invoices to families, with reminders for who hasn't paid.
- Sign-ups for snacks and volunteer jobs.
- Lineups built from who's available.
- Live scores and updates during a game.
- Team statistics.
- A team store for gear.

Moving your schedule over
Paste your TeamSnap calendar link into Snack and every practice and game comes across. The schedule keeps syncing from that link, so you can run both while families move.
