One Platform. No Hidden Fees.

Most sports platforms force you to stitch together registration, payments, scheduling, and travel across multiple tools—or hide pricing behind a sales call. Regystra is different.

We built a full-stack platform for organizations that run serious tournaments and leagues: hockey, soccer, ringette, ball hockey, and more. Registration, brackets, live scoring, gamesheets, travel housing, and financials—all connected in one system.

Below is a straightforward comparison based on what organizations tell us when they switch—and what is publicly available about other platforms. Pricing and features change; we update this page regularly.

What Makes Regystra Different

No competitor combines all of these in one platform:

  • Manage organizational hierarchy and multiple events in one platform
  • Transparent pricing: 1% platform fee, no monthly subscription, your own Stripe account
  • Your data stays yours—no vendor lock-in, optional private database
  • 5+ languages, multi-currency, and LATAM payment rails (MercadoPago, dLocal)
  • Full tournament stack: registration → scheduling → scoring → gamesheets → ticketing
  • Support in multiple languages

Hockey & Soccer Organizations Choose Regystra

Whether you run AAA hockey showcases or international soccer tournaments, the requirements are different. Here is how Regystra fits each.

Hockey Tournaments & Leagues

Regystra powers some of the largest hockey tournaments in North America—from AAA showcases to inline and ball hockey events.

  • Complex division structures, seeding, and bracket generation
  • Live scoring, gamesheets, and real-time standings
  • Stay-to-play travel and hotel block management in-platform
  • Multi-entity financials with separate Stripe accounts per division
  • Trusted by 200x85, Play Hockey, Inline Hockey USA, World Hockey Group, and more

Typical gap with other apps: TeamSnap excels at team communication but lacks deep tournament ops. TourneyMachine handles brackets but not full registration and payments. SportsEngine bundles many tools but adds per-registrant fees and platform uncertainty after the PlayMetrics acquisition.

Soccer Tournaments & Clubs

From state association rosters to international showcase tournaments, soccer organizations need compliance, multi-language support, and flexible payments.

  • Multi-language registration (English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, and more)
  • Multi-currency payments
  • Full tournament lifecycle—not just roster compliance cards
  • Waivers, team registration, scheduling, and communications in one place
  • Events across multiple time zones and countries from a single dashboard

Typical gap with other apps: GotSport dominates U.S. soccer compliance and player cards but is soccer-only with a dated experience. PlayMetrics is strong for club operations but soccer-centric and quote-based. LeagueApps handles registration well but lacks real tournament operations at scale.

One Platform From First Registration to Final Payout

Most platforms cover one phase of your event. Regystra runs the entire operation—before, during, and after—so nothing falls through the cracks.

Phase 1 — Before the Event

Before the Whistle

Everything you need to fill your event and collect every dollar before day one.

  • Registration with custom forms, waivers, and capacity limits
  • Payment plans, installments, and automated reminders
  • Hotel blocks and stay-to-play travel booking in-platform
  • Email marketing and campaigns to fill divisions
Phase 2 — During the Event

On Game Day

Run the event in real time—scheduling, scoring, and revenue at the venue.

  • AI-assisted scheduling with conflict detection
  • Live scoring and digital gamesheets
  • Real-time standings and automatic bracket advancement
  • Ticketing, gate sales, and pro shop merchandise
Phase 3 — After the Event

After the Final Buzzer

Close the books, see what you actually made, and bring everyone back next season.

  • Expense workflows and per-event P&L
  • QuickBooks export and payout reconciliation
  • Funds in your own Stripe account—no waiting on platform payouts
  • Analytics dashboards and retention campaigns for next season

Looking for SportsEngine Alternatives?

With PlayMetrics acquiring SportsEngine, many organizations are evaluating their options. Regystra offers a proven migration path with hands-on onboarding, no per-player fees, and a full tournament stack that SportsEngine users often patch together with add-ons. We have helped organizations move from SportsEngine, LeagueApps, and other platforms without disrupting active seasons.

Where Other Platforms Fit

Every platform has strengths. Here is an honest snapshot of when organizations look elsewhere—and why they choose Regystra instead.

SportsEngine / PlayMetrics

SportsEngine

Best for: Large installed base, brand recognition, club/league management.

Why switch to Regystra: Post-acquisition uncertainty, per-registrant fees, fragmented tournament tools, and quote-gated pricing.

Team Communication

TeamSnap

Best for: Team messaging, schedules, and a polished mobile app for coaches and parents.

Why switch to Regystra: Tournament features are shallow; registration and payments often require separate tools.

Registration & Payments

LeagueApps

Best for: Youth sports registration, flexible APIs, and financial tools.

Why switch to Regystra: US-centric, no real tournament operations at scale, limited international support.

Soccer Compliance

GotSport

Best for: U.S. soccer player cards, state association rosters, and compliance verification.

Why switch to Regystra: Soccer-only, dated UX, and focused on compliance—not full tournament lifecycle management.

Tournament Day

TourneyMachine

Best for: Live brackets, scheduling, and venue maps on tournament day.

Why switch to Regystra: Tournament-day only—no registration, payments, waivers, or travel in the same platform.

Hockey Registries & Leagues

Spordle

Best for: Hockey Canada registry, governing-body compliance, and league stats in Canada.
