Executive summary in 60 seconds

If you only have one minute, this is what matters.

Pick SportMember if…

You're an amateur team without a club behind it (a group of friends playing a league, a corporate team, an informal village team). You only need intra-team communication, attendance and lineups. You don't collect real fees or issue invoices. The free plan with ads is enough.

Pick OneClub if…

You're an organized sports club: you collect fees from members, issue invoices with tax ID, file corporate or non-profit tax returns, comply with LOPIVI, have a board of directors. You need administrative management of the club, not just sporting management of the team.

If still unsure…

Keep reading. The key question is: is your organization a team or a club? A team is run from the coach's phone. A club needs treasury, fiscal, accounting and a member portal. Radically different decision.

Honesty first

When to pick SportMember instead of OneClub

Four concrete scenarios where SportMember is the better choice.

  • If you're an amateur team without a club or real treasury

    A group of friends playing 7-a-side Sunday league, a corporate team, a cycling crew. You don't collect recurring monthly fees, you don't issue invoices, you don't have a board. You only need to call matches, see who attends and chat. SportMember in its free plan (with in-app ads) solves that. OneClub is overkill for that case.

  • If a free plan with ads is a must because there's no budget

    SportMember has an aggressive free plan with in-app advertising. If your organization has zero budget and ads aren't a deal-breaker, it's the lowest entry point in the market. OneClub has a Starter free plan up to 50 members without ads, but beyond that the Professional plan costs €49/month.

  • If you need lineups, attendance and two-way team chat as the central use case

    SportMember was born as a team-management app and that's where it shines: one-tap attendance, drag-and-drop lineups with formations, per-team chat with push notifications, multilingual. If your priority is match-by-match sporting management, SportMember wins there. OneClub manages teams, but the focus is the club as an organization, not tactical planning.

  • If your organization is international and needs multiple languages in the app

    SportMember has the app translated into ES, EN, DE, NL, IT, FR, DK and more. If you have players of various nationalities in the team and want each to see the app in their own language, SportMember is built for that (it's Danish). OneClub is in ES and EN with a Spain focus; beyond that, coverage is smaller for now.

Where OneClub wins

When to pick OneClub instead of SportMember

Four scenarios where OneClub fits your club better than SportMember.

  • If your club collects recurring fees and issues invoices with tax ID in Spain

    OneClub is built for the Spanish sports club as a legal entity: fee collection via Stripe + SEPA, invoicing with tax ID, accountant exports, native LOPIVI compliance. SportMember has basic fee collection (via Stripe on the pro plan) but isn't localized to Spanish fiscal requirements and doesn't issue invoices with the legal data of a Spanish association.

  • If your club has families with several children in different categories

    OneClub groups fees from all children into a single family account and one charge. Registering 3 siblings across U10, U12 and U14 takes 5 minutes and one monthly charge. SportMember treats each player as an independent record with their own account; there's no concept of a family as a paying entity.

  • If you need ticketing, season passes and a public club website

    OneClub includes native QR ticketing for matches, season passes and a public mini-site at oneclubapp.com/club/<slug> with own SEO and federated calendar. SportMember includes no ticketing or season passes: it's team management, not ticket sales. If your club organizes home matches with public entry, OneClub solves that; SportMember doesn't play in that field.

  • If you don't want ads in the app your members see

    SportMember's free plan displays in-app advertising to your members. For a serious club (with a board, federation, public brand) that can clash with brand image. OneClub doesn't show ads on any plan, including the free Starter. If your board wants to project a professional image, OneClub wins there.

How to migrate from SportMember to OneClub in 24-48 hours

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

  1. 1

    Export your data from SportMember

    SportMember lets you export members (players and staff), teams and events to CSV from the admin panel. If your plan has payments, also export the payment history. To understand what data is missing before migrating, we help you do a diff between SportMember's model (team-centric) and OneClub's model (club-centric with members, fees and families).

  2. 2

    Automated importer in OneClub

    Upload the CSVs to OneClub and the system maps columns (name, email, team, position, join date). Since SportMember doesn't operate recurring SEPA mandates in many clubs, most migrations involve reconfiguring billing from scratch: members re-authorize payment the first time via a one-click link emailed to them.

  3. 3

    Validation and ordered go-live

    Before switching SportMember off, you run a test charge in OneClub with 5-10 members to validate dunning, invoicing and communication. When you confirm, OneClub goes live and you archive your SportMember account. If your coaches want to keep the SportMember app for attendance and lineups, we help you document a dual workflow during the transition.

We assign you a dedicated onboarder during the migration. No extra cost, no annual contract. If your organization is closer to an amateur team than an organized club, we'll tell you honestly and recommend you stay on SportMember free.
