🗓️LeagueLobster alternative
LeagueLobster is a strong scheduling engine. If you mainly need a standings table, Simple Standings is free with no monthly game cap — and if you want the ads gone it is $9.99 once, not $9.95 every month.
Why Simple Standings
LeagueLobster is genuinely good, and it is the closest thing to a direct comparison here — it has a free tier, public pages, QR codes, and standings that update as you enter scores, without requiring rosters. If you need real schedule generation across venues, time slots, and travel constraints, LeagueLobster does something Simple Standings does not do at all, and you should use it. Both products are free and ad-supported, so the honest comparison is what the free tier actually gives you and what it costs to clear the ads. LeagueLobster meters its free tier at 50 games per month, puts CSV export behind the $9.95/month plan, and builds standings from a generated schedule rather than a table you fill in; going ad-free there means subscribing, every month, for as long as you want it. Simple Standings has no game limits, no metering, free CSV export and every feature on the free tier, and removing the ads is $9.99 once for that league with nothing to renew.

Frequently asked questions
- What does LeagueLobster cost?
- Their free tier covers up to 50 games per month with ads. LITE is $9.95/month and PRO is $29.95/month, each including 100 games with per-match overage charges. Fully customizable standings tables are a PRO feature. Simple Standings is free with no game limits and every feature included; it also carries ads, and $9.99 once removes them from a league permanently rather than monthly.
- What does LeagueLobster do better?
- Schedule generation, clearly. It solves for venues, time slots, travel, and home fields in a way Simple Standings does not attempt. It also has brackets and registration with payments. If scheduling is your real problem, use LeagueLobster.
- Do I need to build a schedule to get standings?
- In LeagueLobster, standings come from scores entered against a generated and published schedule. In Simple Standings you can have a standings table with no schedule at all, and add one later if you want it.
- Are there ads on my standings page?
- Yes, on both. Both products are free because advertising pays for them. The difference is what it costs to stop: LeagueLobster’s ad-free tiers start at $9.95 a month and keep charging; Simple Standings is $9.99 once for that league, and it never renews.
No game limits, nothing held back
Free, every feature included, no game caps. $9.99 once if you want the ads gone.
