Does TinyHubs show ads?

Never. No ads, no tracking, no data mining — the team pays one flat price and that's the entire business model.

For sports teams

Run the team without living in the group chat.

Q: Will grandparents manage okay?

Yes. Everyone joins from a link in the browser. There is no app to install and nothing to configure — if they can open a web page, they're in.

Q: Can parents answer for their kids?

Yes — that's built in, not a workaround. A player can be on the roster with no email at all, and a parent RSVPs and returns forms on their behalf. The record shows who answered.

You’re the team manager — unpaid, holding the roster, chasing the season. The fixture list is 80 messages deep, “who’s coming Saturday?” is its own thread, the waiver is a photo of paper, and every parent’s phone number is visible to twenty strangers.

One hub fixes the week.

Events with RSVP

Saturday’s game is an object with a who’s-coming list and a calendar file — not a message that scrolled away. The five families who haven’t answered are named, and one tap copies a chase message for the group chat.

Forms with file answers

Collect waivers, medical consent, and uniform sizes. Each return is filed against the player, visible to organizers only, and exports as a CSV you can hand the league at registration.

Files with homes

The roster, the schedule, the tournament pack — in folders, with versions. When the fixture list changes, same-name upload makes v3, and there’s only ever one current answer to “where’s the schedule?”

A roster without phone numbers

Parents join by link and see names, not a directory of strangers’ numbers. Players can be on the roster with no email at all — parents answer for them, and the record shows who answered.

Most teams run on WhatsApp. Keep it.

The group chat is where the pulse lives — the weather call, the “running late.” The hub is where Saturday stops getting lost. Here’s the honest comparison:

	WhatsApp group	TeamSnap	TinyHubs
RSVPs & who-hasn’t	A thread you count by hand	Yes	Yes, with a chase message
Waivers & forms	Photos of paper	Paid tiers	Built in, filed per player
Phone number privacy	Everyone sees every number	Account required	Names only
Ads in front of families	No	Yes — ad-supported, incl. tracking that drew press scrutiny	Never
Price for a 20-family squad	Free	Per-team/per-season tiers + ads	One flat price/yr

Comparison reflects typical free-tier behavior as of 2026; check each vendor for current details.

Questions team managers ask

Is it free for small teams? +

The coaches’ table — up to 5 people — is free forever. Opening the hub to the whole squad is one flat annual price, not a per-family bill, with an invoice your club treasurer can file.

Will grandparents manage okay? +

Yes. Everyone joins from a link in the browser — no app to install, nothing to configure. If they can open a web page, they’re in.

Can parents answer for their kids? +

Yes — built in, not a workaround. A player can be on the roster with no email at all; a parent RSVPs and returns forms on their behalf, and the record shows who answered. Two-parent families both get a say without sharing a login.

What does a season cost? +

One flat price for the year — see pricing. Sell one sponsor patch on the jerseys and the hub is paid for.
