Do the math

What a per-registration fee actually costs you

Most club platforms charge a percentage plus a fixed amount on every registration, on top of the card processing everyone pays. Modeled at 3.25% + $1.50 per registration (SportsEngine HQ’s published rate).

$19.38

per player, per season on a $550 fee

$465

per year with 12 players, 2 seasons

$0

per year on AthletiSync

That is $465 a year that stays in the program, before you count that the percentage grows every time you add a team.
