Honest Comparison

    CLUBROVIA vs SPORTLOMO

    Sportlomo is built around National Governing Body workflows. ClubRovia is built around the club itself — registrations, payments, messaging, fundraising, vetting, tournaments and a public mini-site — with exports designed to feed any NGB.

    ClubRovia

    The complete club OS

    Operations, payments, messaging, fundraising, tournaments and a public ClubHub mini-site — built for grassroots clubs in Ireland with no monthly fees.

    Best for: Clubs that want a complete operating system — messaging, fundraising, ClubHub, tournaments — and the flexibility to feed into their NGB rather than be defined by it.

    Sportlomo

    NGB-focused membership platform

    Membership management used widely by National Governing Bodies and their affiliated clubs.

    Best for: Clubs mandated by their NGB to use a specific national platform.

    FAQs

    Our NGB mandates Sportlomo — can we still use ClubRovia?▾

    Yes. Many clubs run ClubRovia as their day-to-day operations platform and push the required member roster to their NGB via export. ClubRovia is designed to complement, not fight, NGB-level systems.

    Will my members have two logins?▾

    Only if the NGB requires one. Internally to your club, everything — payments, messaging, fundraising, fixtures — happens in ClubRovia.

    Why is ClubRovia free to set up?▾

    We don't charge subscription or setup fees because we believe volunteer-run clubs shouldn't pay a platform just to exist. We earn a small transaction fee only when money actually moves — and the buyer covers it, so your club nets 100% of the price.
