TidyHQ vs RevSport
Similar story to GameDay: RevSport handles competition management — fixtures, ladders, results. TidyHQ handles the club administration that RevSport leaves to spreadsheets — financial reporting, Xero sync, meeting minutes, committee tasks, document storage. Many clubs use both. RevSport runs matchday. TidyHQ runs the club.
Where TidyHQ wins
The full club admin layer RevSport doesn't cover. Financial reporting with Xero sync — your treasurer reconciles without spreadsheets. Governance tools RevSport doesn't have: meeting minutes with action items, role-based task assignment, committee handover, 25 GB document storage. A free plan with unlimited contacts and unlimited admin seats. Flat $890 AUD/year pricing for Pro with digital membership cards — no per-member fees. RevSport handles matchday. TidyHQ handles the other six days.
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 uses RevSport, your club data flows upstream automatically. Multi-level payment splitting across club, association, state, and national bodies is genuinely useful for federated sports.
Best for
Clubs that need the full admin stack — memberships, events, finances, meetings, tasks, and governance — alongside whatever competition management tool their state body requires. TidyHQ handles the committee work that RevSport leaves undone.

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 uses RevSport, your club data flows upstream automatically. Multi-level payment splitting across club, association, state, and national bodies is genuinely useful for federated sports.
We think honest comparisons build more trust than pretending competitors don’t exist. Try both and see which one your committee actually uses.
