What clubs move to TheMVP.ai for.
Families download your club's app, with your name and logo in their app store and on their home screen, instead of a general app that lists every team in the country.
Every game can go live with the score on the video, on every plan. The club decides whether watching is free or pay-per-view.
Parents ask Reddi where Saturday's game is and get the court, the time and the address. Directors text Reddi schedule changes instead of editing them by hand.
Registration, payments, schedule, chat, live streaming and highlights live in one app, so families stop juggling a team app, a payment app, a group chat and a streaming app.
- Memberships for many national governing bodies, such as USA Volleyball.
- Deep registration, invoicing and financial reporting for large organizations.
- Website tools for clubs and leagues.
Good to know.
Yes, for clubs and teams. TheMVP.ai includes registration and payments, schedules and chat, and adds the club's own app in the App Store and Google Play, unlimited live streaming with no ads on every plan, automatic highlight reels and Reddi, an AI assistant for parents and directors.
TheMVP.ai charges 4% + 30 cents per registration with card processing included. SportsEngine lists 3.25% + $2 per transaction for HQ Premium registration and invoicing. On a $100 registration that is $4.30 with TheMVP.ai and $5.25 with SportsEngine; on a $400 registration it is $16.30 and $15.00.
On TheMVP.ai, watching is free unless the club chooses pay-per-view, and streams have no ads. On SportsEngine Play, watching live is free, and replays and clips are part of the paid Premier plan.
