Honesty first

When to pick Playoff instead of OneClub

Four concrete scenarios where Playoff is the better choice for your club.

  • If your club has paid staff and needs integrated time-tracking

    Playoff includes an integrated time-tracking module: coach and staff clock-in, payroll exports and compliance with Spanish Royal Decree-Law 8/2019. If your club regularly pays 5+ employees, Playoff solves it inside the same software. OneClub doesn't include it and you'd combine it with a separate HR tool (Factorial, Sesame, Bizneo).

  • If your club is professional or semi-professional with 500+ members

    Playoff has long focused on clubs that operate like a sports SMB: payroll, time-tracking, contracts. If your model resembles a company more than an association, Playoff fits the manager's workflow. OneClub targets more amateur clubs, academies and grassroots with volunteer management.

  • If you've had a failed migration before and want minimum risk

    Playoff has years of implementations in Spanish clubs and a consultative sales team that accompanies the project. If your last migration went badly and you need lots of hand-holding, their model helps. OneClub also assists migrations, but operates more self-serve: good if your club has technical depth, worse if you need everything done for you.

  • If your accountant already knows Playoff's exports

    If your accounting firm has received Playoff exports for years and you don't want to break that relationship, sticking saves friction. OneClub exports to XLSX, CSV and connects via webhooks/API, but means documenting a new format for your accountant. Real operational switch, not technical.

Where OneClub wins

When to pick OneClub instead of Playoff

Four scenarios where OneClub fits your club better than Playoff.

  • If you want card and Apple Pay as primary payment method

    OneClub is built on Stripe from day one: card, Apple Pay, Google Pay and SEPA coexist with card as the pushed method. Online registration conversion significantly higher than SEPA-only. Playoff operates with SEPA as the main flow and card integration is more limited.

  • If your club has families with 2+ children in different categories

    OneClub groups sibling fees into a single family account with one charge. Registering 3 children takes 5 minutes instead of repeating the flow three times. Playoff treats each member as an independent record: it works, but it isn't designed for the multi-child case.

  • If you need transparent pricing without a sales meeting

    OneClub publishes prices on the website: Starter free up to 50 members, Professional €49/month up to 500, Enterprise custom. You do the math in 2 minutes without talking to anyone. Playoff doesn't publish pricing on its website: requires contacting sales and waiting. If your board values evaluation speed, OneClub wins here.

  • If you need integrated ticketing and season passes

    OneClub includes native ticketing: the club sells QR-coded tickets for matches and events and manages season passes in the same backoffice as fees, without contracting IDSports, AvaiBook or Eventbrite separately. Playoff doesn't include ticketing as a core feature; tickets are handled externally.

How to migrate from Playoff to OneClub in 48-72 hours

Standard process: you export, we import and validate. Without halting the club's operations.

  1. 1

    Export your data from Playoff

    Playoff lets you export members, teams, fee plans and payments to CSV/Excel from the panel. If you've been with them for years, also export last fiscal year's charge history to preserve accounting continuity. Playoff's support usually responds by email if you need specific exports.

  2. 2

    Automated importer in OneClub

    Upload the files to OneClub and the system maps columns (name, ID, IBAN, team, plan, email). Review the preview, fix anything and confirm. For existing SEPA mandates, we reactivate them in Stripe preserving the original consent. For cards saved in Playoff, members re-authorize payment the first time.

  3. 3

    Validation and ordered go-live

    Before switching Playoff off, you run a test charge in OneClub with 5-10 members to validate dunning, invoicing and accounting integration. When you confirm, OneClub goes live. If your club has time-tracking in Playoff, we'll help you evaluate whether to keep it there or move to a specialized HR tool (Factorial, Sesame) — depends on your case.

We assign you a dedicated onboarder during the migration. No extra cost, no mandatory annual contract. If your club has the HR module in Playoff, we'll honestly tell you whether to keep it there or move it separately.
