ClubZap vs TeamFeePay: A TeamFeePay Alternative for UK Sports Clubs
TeamFeePay is a well-known name in UK grassroots football, built around collecting fees for football clubs.
ClubZap is sports club management software for every sport, bringing subs, team messaging, fixtures, fundraising and your club website into one free app.
If your club wants more than a football payments tool, here's how the two compare.

ClubZap vs TeamFeePay Summary
Both ClubZap and TeamFeePay are designed to support grassroots sports clubs, with ClubZap focused on day-to-day operations like communications, payments, and fundraising, while TeamFeePay is mainly targeted at Football clubs and is focused on Club Merchandise and fundraising.
But here’s the Key difference:
- TeamFeePay was founded in 2018 and is built for grassroots football clubs and academies. It's strongest on the money side: fee collection, payment plans, registrations, camps and club shop sales, with team chat and availability in its app.
- ClubZap covers payments too, with recurring subs, instalments and auto renewals. The difference is range.
- ClubZap is used by more than 1,000 sports clubs across 20 sports, and adds club lotteries, a club website, sponsor visibility and one app that members use for every club they belong to.
If you run a multi-sport club, or a football club that wants fundraising and a website in the same system, ClubZap is the better fit.

One app for every sport at your club
Plenty of UK sports clubs aren't football only. A cricket club might run junior football through the winter, and a rugby club often has minis, juniors, seniors and a women's section, each with its own fees and coaches.
ClubZap is used across 20 sports, so every section sits under one club account with its own teams, membership plans and messages. The committee gets one view of the whole club, and families only need one app.

What our clients say
Sarah Wolff
Assistant Chair, Winton Wanderers FC
Since we’ve been using the app, we’ve had some really positive feedback off parents. They feel that their monthly payments are a lot more organised than they were previously. Customer service has been outstanding and it has completely streamlined our payments. The fact that we can have a communication tool on the back of that as well has been a massive positive step as a club.
Damian Chamberlain
Club Committee, Oswaldtwistle St Mary’s FC
With the streamline and organisation, the app has benefited us the most. You can actually pull information off a spreadsheet and have it in real time. Rather than us having to do a lot of paperwork, it’s all in one place for us to look at. We’re all volunteers, we don’t get paid for it, so we’ve got to make it as easy as possible for us to carry on.
Gary Carr
Chairman, Broadheath Central FC
We can communicate directly with every single team, every single parent. For the most part, people in grassroots football are volunteers and there is so much compliance and administration. ClubZap is tremendously useful because it takes a lot of the hard work off the managers. It allows us to concentrate on all the things we need to do in order to stay compliant, efficient, and professional.
