Platform Ratings & Awards

With outstanding ratings of 5.0/5.0 on Capterra and 4.9/5.0 on both the iOS and Android app stores, we take pride in exceeding other team management solutions in user satisfaction and expert reviews, including Coacha (4.9/5.0 and 3.4/5.0 respectively).

Mobile App

Both PLAI and Coacha provide a free mobile app for users on both iOS and Android, with both apps containing a multitude of useful sports team management tools in one centralised platform, such as the ability to instantly receive player availability and player registration, announce team selections and collect fees through payment processing functionality.

While features such as team chat functionality, dashboard control, free club websites and priority support can help streamline team communications, simplify team administration and boost member engagement.

Charges for Additional Features

However, to access a wide range of Coacha’s complete set of advanced features, such as unlimited members and admins, chat features, player availability tracking, digital payment gateways, facility booking and much more, you are required to subscribe to Coacha Premium or Coacha Custom for a monthly fee of A$32.50 and A$54.50 respectively.

In contrast, PLAI offers its full suite of features and functionalities without the ongoing monthly or annual subscription costs, meaning that PLAI keeps the risk off clubs whilst also providing several advanced features in its free tier that are not even available on Coacha Custom.

Let’s explore these features next…

Subscription Model – NA DA!

Unlike the more traditional team management apps, PLAI provides a subscription-free service for full access to the suite of tools it provides.

This spares clubs from recurring monthly or yearly fees, with no contract or commitment – It’s important to us that YOU are in control of the relationship…always.

Both platforms charge a small fee as standard per transaction, for key items such as annual club membership fees, match fees, event tickets, clothing or merchandise.

Specifically, PLAI’s fee in Australia is 2.9%*, while Coacha charges 2.75%* for card payments and 2%* for direct debit payments.
