TidyHQ vs RevSport
Both are Australian-built. Both handle memberships, events, and communications. The difference is in the details: TidyHQ gives you financial reporting, Xero sync, governance tools, and a free tier with unlimited contacts. RevSport gives you competition fixtures, ladders, and deep integration with state and national sporting bodies. Here's an honest look at where each platform wins.
Where TidyHQ wins
Financial reporting with Xero sync — your treasurer can reconcile without spreadsheets. Governance tools that RevSport doesn't have: meeting minutes with action items, role-based task assignment, committee handover, and document storage. A free tier with unlimited contacts and full features. Simpler, flat pricing — no per-member fees and no annual lock-in required.
Where RevSport wins
RevSport is purpose-built for competitive sport. Fixture management, competition draws, ladders, results tracking, and volunteer/umpire rostering are native features. They serve 18,000+ clubs and 264 state and national sporting bodies — if your state body already uses RevSport, your club data flows upstream automatically. Their multi-level payment splitting (club → association → state → national) is genuinely clever. For clubs where competition management is the core job, RevSport is a strong platform.
Best for
Clubs that need the full admin stack — memberships, events, finances, meetings, tasks, and governance — in one platform with transparent pricing. Particularly strong for clubs and associations outside competitive sport, or sports clubs where committee admin matters as much as matchday.

Key differences
Your treasurer will thank you
TidyHQ syncs with Xero in real time. Membership payments, event revenue, and shop sales flow straight into your accounting. RevSport handles invoicing but doesn't connect to your accounting software — your treasurer is still doing double entry.
Committee admin, not just matchday
Meeting minutes with timed agendas and action items. Tasks assigned to committee roles that carry over when people change. Document storage so the incoming secretary doesn't start from scratch. RevSport handles matchday well — TidyHQ handles the other six days of the week.
Free tier with unlimited contacts
TidyHQ's free plan includes the full feature set with unlimited contacts. No credit card, no trial expiry. RevSport requires a paid subscription — often subsidised by your state body, but that means you're locked to their ecosystem.
What RevSport does well
RevSport is purpose-built for competitive sport. Fixture management, competition draws, ladders, results tracking, and volunteer/umpire rostering are native features. They serve 18,000+ clubs and 264 state and national sporting bodies — if your state body already uses RevSport, your club data flows upstream automatically.

No product is the right fit for everyone. If RevSport’s strengths align with your primary needs, it may be the better choice.
