How this comparison was made

This article is published by Futix, so we have a direct interest in the product. It is an editorial comparison of documented features, not an independent hands-on test or a scored ranking. Competitor sources were checked on 9 October 2026 and are linked below.

We compared the intended use, availability workflow, football records and free-versus-paid access. We have not created competitor accounts or tested their match-day experience. An undocumented feature is not evidence that it is absent. Prices, regional availability and plan limits can change; verify them before choosing.

Futix: an option for weekly games with friends

Futix is a free football organiser web app and PWA. It brings groups, invitations, availability, squads and lineups together, with match history, ratings and group and player statistics. It also supports finding players and discovering public football matches nearby.

Its live goal counter is particularly relevant if your group argues about the score: tap the scorer after each goal and the score counts automatically. Entering only the result is also possible, but gives no individual goal statistics. This is a reason to consider Futix, not proof that no other app offers live scoring.

Futix is available in the browser and as a PWA. Its native iOS app is in preparation without a confirmed release date. Groups requiring a native iOS download today should take that into account.

Spond: consider it for broad group organisation

Spond describes its app as free and aimed at teams and groups across activities. Its official availability documentation covers checking responses before creating an event and reminders for members who have not replied.

This makes Spond worth considering when coordinating attendance is the main job or the group spans several activities. Check its current payment terms if you plan to collect money; “free app” does not necessarily mean every payment transaction is free. This comparison does not establish whether its football scoring workflow matches Futix’s.

SportEasy: consider it for a structured football team

SportEasy’s football documentation describes organisation and player statistics, including goals, assists, cards and minutes played. Its club plan page also lists lineups, availability and live statistics.

That breadth makes it worth investigating for teams with more formal season and club administration. SportEasy has subscription plans, and team and club pricing are distinct. Check the current team or club plan required for your chosen statistics and organisation features, and calculate the cost for your actual group size.

Heja: consider it for team coordination

Heja’s help centre distinguishes Free, Team Pro and Team Pro Max. Its paid-feature guide describes attendance statistics, additional RSVP controls, reminders and desktop access, among other tools.

Heja is worth considering if your priority is a team communication and attendance routine. Verify which tier includes the controls you need rather than assuming the free tier includes every feature listed in its help centre. This review does not verify a live football goal-counter workflow.

Try the workflow that matters before moving your group

If your main problem is collecting replies, try creating one event and asking a few players to respond. If your priority is football records, check how lineups, scorers and results are handled. If you manage a club, check multi-team administration and payment requirements separately.

Write down your three essential jobs, such as availability, lineups and live goals.
Check the current official plan for those jobs and the devices your players use.
Run one match with a small group before committing your whole season.
Keep the tool that your players actually update consistently.
