## Our take

- **Its scheduler is the reason to use it.** Venues, time slots, travel time between venues, games per day and back-to-backs are all things it solves for.
- **The free plan is real but narrow:** 50 games a month, ads on the published schedule, export turned off, and the simpler LITE scheduler.
- **PRO ($29.95 USD a month) is where most of it lives:** constraints, divisions, custom standings, brackets, a website and custom domain.
- **Monthly only.** There is no annual price, so a season’s cost is months × plan, plus any games over 100 in a month.

## What it does well

A note on who is writing this: we make Simple Standings, which competes with it. We have not run a league on it; everything below comes from its own pricing, feature and help pages, linked at the bottom and checked on the date above.

- **Constraint scheduling.** It fits a season around your venues and time slots, the travel time between each pair of venues, a cap on games per day, and limits on back-to-backs. Very few free-to-start tools try this.
- **Standings that follow the schedule.** Enter a score and the table updates. On PRO you choose the columns, their order, the tiebreak order (head-to-head, score difference, percentages and more) and points for wins, draws, overtime results, shutouts and forfeits.
- **Sharing.** Public schedule and standings pages open without an account, with a QR code and a short link.
- **Getting data out (paid).** Export the schedule as CSV/Excel or in formats TeamSnap, SportsEngine, GameChanger, LeagueApps and SportsPress import.
- **Registration without a subscription,** with team, player and free-agent forms.

## What to watch for

- **Export is off on the free plan.** Their help centre says ad-supported schedules cannot be exported, by API or otherwise.
- **Most of the depth is PRO.** Divisions, constraints, custom standings and brackets all need the $29.95 plan; LITE keeps standings to the templates.
- **Costs move with your schedule.** Billing covers the next 30 days and counts every game on the schedule, so a busy month on PRO costs more than $29.95.
- **Standings need a published schedule.** Scores are entered against the games, so a league that only wants a table still builds a schedule first. Corrections are made per game, not on the table.
- **No annual discount** and no native app listed; the site is built to work on phones.

## Is LeagueLobster worth it?

If scheduling is your headache, yes. A season that has to fit three venues, a curfew and a travel rule is exactly what PRO is for, and it is cheaper than the hours it saves.

If what you actually need is a table everyone can check, probably not: you would be building a schedule to get standings, and paying monthly to remove ads or to export. That is the job [Simple Standings](https://simplestandings.com/vs/simple-standings-vs-leaguelobster) does for free, or $9.99 once per league with no ads.

## Who LeagueLobster is right for

- Schedulers working around venue availability, time slots and travel.
- Tournament directors who need brackets alongside the league.
- Clubs taking registration fees online.
- Organizers who feed the schedule into TeamSnap, SportsEngine or GameChanger.

## If you are weighing Simple Standings instead

- It will not build a schedule around venues or travel; it generates matchups and you add the dates.
- No registration or payments.
- Divisions are separate leagues, each with its own link.
- Its public page also has ads, unless you pay $9.99 once.
