RGForm (KSIS) alternative
The incumbent in rhythmic gymnastics: Code of Points difficulty forms per cycle, federation registration with music and tariff upload, judge entry through eJudge2, offline mode. Organizer pricing is not published.
Read comparisonRGScores alternative
Rhythmic-only, A$85 per competition published up front. Covers meet-day production JudgeMate does not: music playlists in start order, work orders, arena display, free spectator access.
Read comparisonSportzsoft LiveMeet alternative
Gymnastics-wide (artistic, trampoline and tumbling, newer rhythmic and aerobic systems) with an iOS judges app and a documented ISF Gymnasiade 2024 deployment. US$75 per meet plus 2.5% of entry fees.
Read comparisonVertical-Life alternative
Federation-grade IFSC partner. €300/day standby + €65/hour event-day (plus VAT). Best fit for sanctioned events; usually too costly or operationally heavy for gym leagues.
Read comparisonTopLogger alternative
Gym CRM with logbook + comp module. Free up to 35 users; paid plans on quote (toplogger.nu does not publish current rates). Best fit when the gym already runs the daily logbook.
Read comparisonUpMost alternative
Bouldering-focused, AU/NZ-anchored. Polished athlete UX. Best fit for paid events inside the AU/NZ ecosystem.
Read comparisonLiveHeats alternative
World Skate ranking integration, per-event credit pricing on quote. Best fit for sanctioned national championships feeding the official World Skateboarding Ranking.
Read comparisonRawMotion alternative
Production-grade action sports: bespoke formats, dedicated judging hardware, broadcast feed on quote. Best fit for broadcast events that need a tailored build.
Read comparisonThe Boardr alternative
US skate scene, plugged into The Boardr ecosystem (Am, Grind for Life). Entry-fee collection, check-in, broadcast via The Boardr Live. Best fit for US events already inside that ecosystem.
Read comparisonLiveHeats alternative for roller freestyle
Largest action-sports SaaS — but not the World Skate official partner for inline (only for skateboarding). Per-event credits, US$132–396 tier. Best fit for paid professional roller events that need broadcast-grade tooling.
Read comparisonRawMotion alternative for roller freestyle
Built for freestyle and action-sports judging. Custom multi-criterion formats — a natural fit for the 5-criterion weighted mean used in roller. FISE-tier production, quote-based pricing.
Read comparisonRankedin alternative
Racket-sport platform built around federations: national rankings, licences, Book247 court booking, Stripe entry fees. Basic is free; Premium is €14.90–€59.90 per tournament. Their manual's live-scoring list does not include padel.
Read comparisonPadel Fast alternative
Padel-only, native apps, a dozen social formats, own ELO, court booking and Stripe. Creating tournaments requires a plan — the cheapest way in is a $3.99 six-hour Day Pass.
Read comparisonTournify alternative
General-purpose tournament software at scale, with published pricing and an app your players already have. Says americano is still on the way and single-player pairing isn't available yet.
Read comparisonThe Boardr alternative for roller freestyle
Anchored to the US skateboarding ecosystem (Am, Grind for Life, Boardr Live). Fits roller freestyle only if your contest already runs through Boardr — not a default pick for inline.
