Pricing
Free for families.
From $99/month for the club.
That’s it.
One flat monthly fee, sized to the club. Plus a $0.69 platform fee per family-paid transaction — visible on every receipt, not buried. No per-team fee, no per-seat trap, no “contact sales.” Card data never touches us. Stripe processing passes through at cost.
The whole price list
Six principles. No fine print.
GameBrief is built so a club and a parent can read the price list in 90 seconds and know what they will pay every month for the rest of the season. The principles below are stricter than the average SaaS pricing page, which is the point.
- Free for families
- A parent never pays GameBrief a subscription. The brief, the calendar, the messages, the documents, the AI synthesis — all of it, every morning, no charge. Card data never touches us; Stripe holds the token.
- One flat monthly fee for the club
- Three sizes, no per-seat fee, no per-team multiplier, no annual contract. $99/month for clubs up to 100 families, $199/month for 101–500, $399/month for 500+. The boardroom view, the treasurer console, the audience builder, the audit log — included at every tier. Pick the size, that is the price.
- $0.69 platform fee per family-paid transaction
- When a family pays a tournament fee, gear deposit, dues installment, or any other paid event, we add a $0.69 platform fee on top of the transaction. It's visible to the family on the receipt — not buried. The same number for every tier; it doesn't scale with the amount.
- Stripe processing passed through at cost
- Stripe charges 2.9% + $0.30 per online transaction. We pass that through at exactly what Stripe charges us — zero markup. The full breakdown is on every receipt; the math is honest.
- No ads. Ever.
- We don't run ad networks. We don't insert promoted content into the brief. We don't accept paid placement from anyone. The product is the product; that is the entire business model.
- No data sale. Ever.
- We do not sell family data to anyone, for any purpose, at any price. We do not share with marketing partners. We do not anonymize and resell. We do not sell anonymized aggregates. If we ever change this, we will close the company before we change this.

GameBrief

Free for families, period
The arithmetic for a 200-family club running $50,000 in annual transactions: TeamSnap (Premium, ~15 teams) ≈ $2,500/year + family ads; LeagueApps ≈ $2,500/year in transaction take; SportsEngine ≈ contact-sales (anecdotally $3,000–$8,000/year for HQ); BlueSombrero $3 per registration ≈ $1,500/year in fees on the family. GameBrief at the same volume: $199/month flat ($2,388/year) plus ~$690 in transaction fees ≈ $3,078/year total. Half what TeamSnap costs for the same volume, zero ads, zero family service fees.
