While TeamSnap was first to market with their team management app, it is important to research the best and most cost effective way to manage your sports team before choosing an app for the season. In some cases, this can include to use the app. There is a new, Canadian-based company that is changing the team management app market by allowing users access to their app. ’s belief is that sports are expensive enough to participate in already, so why add in an extra, unnecessary fee for your team for the season. Just like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, and all of your other favourite apps, TeamLinkt believes sports tech should also be offered out for free!

Let's talk numbers

In lots of cases, this fee to use TeamSnap will be built into the team fee for the season, or else it will be paid out of pocket by the coach, manager, captain or team organizer.

For leagues, associations & clubs, TeamLinkt offers to set up every team in their organization free of charge with their app to use for every season. This includes even importing any necessary data for the association to save time for the season! So essentially if a league or association wants to set up all of their teams with TeamLinkt, it is a matter of saying the word to one of TeamLinkt’s staff and we handle the rest!

By setting up every team in an association or league as a whole, this can result in massive savings.

Example: Saskatoon Minor Hockey

SMHA provides the TeamLinkt app for all of their teams each season. With their 240 teams competing in their association this season, they have saved teams a combined amount of anywhere from $16,800 to $38,400 CAD depending on which TeamSnap plan the team would have chosen.

Here’s a breakdown of what the TeamSnap costs would have been (assuming teams paid the cheaper, annual fee):

Basic Plan

240 Teams x $70 Annually

= $16,800

Premium Plan

240 Teams x $123 Annually

= $29,520

Ultra Plan

240 Teams x $160 Annually

= $38,400

With TeamLinkt, all SMHA teams received an app with the same features as the Ultra Plan, but paid $0 as an association, and teams paid $0 to use the app. Over the past three seasons of using the app, this savings compounds to upwards of $100,000!
