Looking for a Spond alternative? Switch to Teamo.
Moving from Spond? If your members pay per session, Teamo Autopay collects a month of sessions in one payment, so the club pays one fee instead of eight. No long contract, and our team moves your club across for you.

A pay-per-session year on Spond and on Teamo
A 50-member club charging £40 a year for membership and £5 a session, with members training twice a week. Over 44 training weeks (eight weeks off over Christmas and summer) that is 88 sessions each: 4,400 session payments a year if every one is paid separately. With Autopay, Teamo collects each member’s 8 sessions a month in one £40 payment, 11 times a year.

- £912.00 a year less than Spond
Honestly: on this model Teamo costs £912.00 a year less by Direct Debit, and £792.00 less by card. On a single card payment the fee is the same as Spond's (33p on £5). Teamo's saving comes from Autopay collecting a month in one payment, and from Direct Debit's lower rate.
Paid one session at a time by card, Teamo’s own fees would come to £1,512.00 a year: the saving comes from Autopay collecting a month in one payment, not from a lower rate. For comparison, if you swapped pay-per-session for a flat £40 monthly training fee, Spond would cost £720.00 a year on these numbers, more than Teamo’s £600.00. A flat fee charges members for sessions they miss; Autopay charges for the ones they come to.
Worked from the published prices above, by standard UK card. Your own numbers depend on your size, your prices and how members pay. On the call we’ll run them for your club.
Teamo Autopay: a month of sessions in one payment
Every card payment carries a fixed fee, usually 20p, so on a £5 session most of the cost is that fixed part. Autopay collects what each member owes in one payment a month, so the club pays one fixed fee instead of 8.
Members save a payment method once
A card or a Direct Debit, one or the other. A parent can be the Autopayer for their children.
Session fees add up
As sessions are charged, the fees go on the member’s account. No paying at the door, and no payment link for every session.
One statement a month
At the start of each month Teamo puts everything a member owes the club into one statement and emails it to them. It is collected four days later, so there is time to query an item first.
One fee, not 8
8 sessions paid one at a time by card cost £2.64 in fees. Collected together as one £40 payment: £1.00 by Direct Debit, £1.20 by card.
The club sets an Autopay limit for each member, and a statement never goes over it, so set it above a normal month. Sessions with a limited number of places are paid when they’re booked, not by Autopay. More in AutoPay and Direct Debit, done properly.
Why clubs move to Teamo
One app, not three
Chat, sessions and availability, memberships, payments and email together, so you’re not running a database, a group chat and a spreadsheet side by side.
Payments that chase themselves
Subs by card or Direct Debit, in instalments if you like, with automatic reminders. Clubs collect 98% of fees without anyone chasing.
A website included
Your club website comes with every plan from Silver up, kept in sync with your sessions and news, with no separate bill.
We do the move
Our team sets your club up from your exports and walks your committee through it. A real person, not a forum.
We move your club across from Spond. Free.
Send us your exports and we do the set-up. Most clubs are up and running within 7 days, and you can line it up with your renewal date. If Spond doesn’t export what we need, we’ll work from what you have.
What moves
- Members and groups (groups become teams)
- Your payment requests, as memberships and fees
- Events and sessions
What has to be set up again
- Chat history stays in Spond
- Payment history
- Saved cards
Card details and Direct Debit mandates never transfer between platforms, so members set up their payment once on Teamo, usually at their next renewal.

Switching from Spond: questions clubs ask
When should we switch from Spond?
There's no Spond contract to wait out. Set Teamo up before your next membership renewal so members renew straight into it.
Do our members need to download an app?
No. Members can join and pay on the web from one link. The app is there for chat, sessions and reminders if they want it.
Is there a contract or set-up fee on Teamo?
No contract and no set-up fee. Your tier is set by your member count and changes automatically. Clubs up to 50 members are free.
What about juniors?
Juniors are linked to their parents, who get the messages and pay. Club chats are built to be safe for under-18s.
Who will we deal with?
A real person, not a forum or a chatbot: in the app, by email or on a call, on every tier including Free.
