An honest comparison

TeamLoop vs. GameChanger

This is the comparison where we'll concede the most, because these two products aren't really doing the same job. GameChanger is a scorekeeping and streaming app and it is very good at that; TeamLoop runs the season around the games. Plenty of teams sensibly use both. What's worth comparing is who ends up paying, and for what — so every statement about GameChanger below is quoted from gc.com and linked (retrieved August 11, 2026).

Who pays for “free”?

Free for the coach. Not free for the families.

GameChanger, in their words
“All GameChanger features — including premium features — are completely FREE for coaches and staff to use for their team.”

For everyone else, the good stuff is a subscription. A staff member can buy a Team Pass to cover the whole community — “$239 / season” for Plus or “$449 / season” for Premium, and “a Team Pass is good for one season.” Otherwise families buy their own: the Premium Family Plan is “$24.99 / month” or “$179.99 / year” for four accounts.

TeamLoop

One price, paid by the team, covering everyone. $79 a year on Team — and every parent and player on your roster gets the full app. There is no upgrade for families, no per-parent subscription, and nothing a family has to buy to see what their own child is doing.

For context, a Plus Team Pass at $239 covers one season. That is three years of TeamLoop, and each of those years covers every season your team plays in it.

Premium lands on $449 a season, which is the same number as TeamLoop Program further down this page. They are not the same purchase. A Team Pass covers one team's community inside GameChanger, for one season. Program covers every team in a club, for a whole year — registration, dues, a website on your own domain and everything else on this page — at that one price.

Different jobs

What each one is actually for.

GameChanger is built around the game

Live scorekeeping, streaming, play-by-play, box scores, spray charts, highlight clips. If your priority is grandparents watching the game from another state, or deep baseball and softball statistics, that is genuinely what it is for — and TeamLoop does not stream live games at all.

TeamLoop is built around the season

Dues and invoices with a 0% platform fee, fundraisers, registration with waivers and medical info, permission slips with a signature audit trail, volunteer duties, a season calendar, film with per-player watch tracking, and a club website. The administrative half of coaching, in other words.

We record a box score too — batting, pitching and fielding, entered from the scorebook — but streaming and pitch-by-pitch play data are theirs, not ours.

Our side, in full

Every price we charge, on one card.

TeamLoop's pricing, in full
Team$79 / yearOne team, everything unlocked — registration included
Program$449 / yearOne price for every team, plus a club website and program-wide admin

One price a year — never per player or per family. Program covers your whole club for a single price, however many teams you run. 14-day trial, no credit card to start.

And what never costs extra
  • Every parent and player account on your roster
  • Message and image screening for child safety — on every plan, including free
  • Medical and allergy info, on every plan
  • Our percentage of your team's money: 0%, on every plan
  • No ads, anywhere, on any plan
In fairness

For a lot of teams, the answer is both.

We're not going to pretend TeamLoop replaces GameChanger for a travel baseball team that lives on live streams and spray charts — it doesn't, and we don't stream games. It's a DICK'S Sporting Goods company with a scorekeeping product we're not trying to rebuild. If that's the part of your season that matters most, keep it. Score the game there, and run the dues, the paperwork, the volunteers and the calendar here — for less than the cost of a single season's Team Pass.
