KeepsYa™ vs LeagueApps
A platform that takes a percentage of every registration, or software you own that takes none. Here are both sides.
Updated August 18, 2026 · KeepsYa 0.185.2 + KeepsYa Pro 0.26.55 · LeagueApps pricing, verified June 19, 2026
The short version: LeagueApps is a capable, dedicated youth-sports platform with strong league operations and branded team apps, and “we don’t make money until you do” is a fair pitch. But that means a percentage of every online registration, forever, plus a one-time setup fee, and your data lives on their platform. KeepsYa takes no cut of a sign-up: free core on your own WordPress, a flat Pro license, you keep the percentage.
A revenue-share fee feels painless at first and grows with you by design. On a $150 registration, a few percent is a few dollars; across a season of hundreds of registrations it is real money, every year. KeepsYa charges a flat license instead, so the more you grow the more you keep, and the registrations, families and history live in your own WordPress, not on a platform you would have to leave to escape the fee.

Where KeepsYa wins
You keep the percentage
No revenue share on registrations. A flat Pro license means your growth stays yours instead of compounding a platform fee.
Own your site and data
Families register on your domain and everything lives in your WordPress, with nothing to export under deadline.
Cash and word-of-mouth
Tracked offline payments plus a built-in referral-and-store-credit flywheel, on your own terms.
Private clubs and delegated partners
Run hidden, invite-only sessions and give a partner club its own member group, share link and a delegate who invites and manages their own families, all on your site with the same booking and no per-player fee.
Where LeagueApps fits better
Dedicated league operations
Divisions, standings, scheduling and officials across a large league are its purpose-built home turf.
Branded team apps
Coach and parent apps under your brand, if mobile team communication is central to your program.
Hands-on setup
A guided onboarding and a no-website-needed platform if you do not want to run WordPress.
The money math
KeepsYa’s cost never scales with your success: the core plugin is free forever, and KeepsYa Pro is one flat yearly license. Platforms priced per month, per player or per registration take a growing cut as you grow. Run your season’s numbers against their pricing page; the gap usually pays for your whole website.
What they cost
No subscription fees or contracts; LeagueApps takes a small percentage of each online registration payment (exact rate is quote-based), plus a one-time setup fee. Offline payments are free; optional annual add-ons (branded team apps, custom website design) cost extra. See their pricing →

More than an affiliate program: a growth flywheel
KeepsYa Pro turns your own families into your marketing engine and rewards them for it. Affiliate commissions, family referrals and the stored-value ledger are not three features, they are one self-perpetuating loop:
A family shares their link
Every family gets a personal referral link, and partners get an affiliate link, straight from your KeepsYa site.
A friend signs up
The new registration is tracked automatically and attributed to the referrer, first-touch, no codes to chase.
The family earns spendable credit
They receive real, owner-funded account credit (or a cash commission), held in your stored-value ledger and payable after the service is delivered.
They come back and spend it
That credit pulls the family into next season, and their friend now has a link of their own.
The result: your customers promote you, get rewarded, and keep coming back, while you keep every dollar and own all the data. One referral can pay for a whole year of Pro. See how the Pro flywheel works →
