Where Sporteasy falls short

WHAT YOU DON'T GET WITH SPORTEASY

✕
No online bookings or payments

Sporteasy has no booking engine. Parents cannot pay online. There is no payment processing, no checkout and no revenue management. You still need a separate tool — or cash.

✕
No public booking page or website

Sporteasy is an internal team tool. There is no public-facing page where new families can discover your academy, browse your schedule and book a first session.

✕
No family accounts or parent-child model

Sporteasy is built for adult amateur teams. The parent-child relationship — the core of most sport academies — is not part of the product.

✕
Communication only — no admin platform

Sporteasy does availability polls and team chat. It does not manage your classes, track attendance in a register, handle programme progressions, or give you a business dashboard.

💳
AcademyApp advantage

BOOKINGS AND PAYMENTS — THE FULL FLOW

AcademyApp runs the entire booking and payment journey — from discovery on your website to confirmation, reminder and receipt. No extra tools, no manual invoicing.

✓Online booking by session, term or programme
✓Card payments via Stripe, bank transfer or cash
✓Sibling discounts and early bird pricing
✓Automatic payment reminders to families
✓Full payment history per student

AI COPILOT — NOT JUST A CHAT TOOL

Sporteasy sends availability polls. AcademyApp has an AI that runs your admin — creating sessions, confirming attendance, writing updates and sending reminders, from WhatsApp or the app.

✓Create full training schedules in one message
✓AI sends targeted reminders to specific families
✓Attendance confirmation tracked and logged automatically
✓AI writes your session updates and newsletters
✓Works from WhatsApp without opening the app

Common questions

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Can I use both Sporteasy and AcademyApp?+
You would not need to. AcademyApp includes everything Sporteasy does — team communication, scheduling and attendance — plus bookings, payments, family accounts, a public website and AI Copilot. Most academies that switch find they can retire three or four separate tools.
Does AcademyApp handle availability polls and match scheduling?+
Yes. Coaches can manage availability, schedule sessions and communicate with players and parents — all from the same platform that handles your bookings and payments.
Is AcademyApp suitable for amateur sports clubs as well as academies?+
Yes. AcademyApp works for academies, clubs and school sport programmes. The platform adapts to your structure — whether you run one-to-one coaching, group sessions or full seasonal programmes.
