ClubCensus
Stack Team App Alternatives for Club Committees
Stack Team App is free and excellent for push alerts, fixtures, chat, and team structure — funded by advertising with optional ad removal. Spond Club is free software with fees on payments. ClubCensus is a committee and board platform. Most clubs do not need to pick only one.
Worked example: which channel does what
Imagine a winter sports club with 400 members and twelve board meetings a year.
Team App carries Saturday fixture changes, training cancellations, and RSVP to social events — parents live in the app.
ClubCensus holds the March board pack, April minutes, COI register, and director vote on the constitution change — directors live in the portal.
Spond Club might still collect junior registration fees if the club already uses Spond for team training — treasurer reconciles in one finance view where possible.
Rule of thumb: if a decision could appear in a dispute later, it belongs in the governance system with minutes — not only in a chat thread.

Keeping Team App for comms
Turn off duplicate “official notice” posts in Team App once the board standardises on ClubCensus for AGMs and rule changes — or clearly label Team App posts as operational only.
Treasurers should not maintain two membership masters. Pick one system of record for financial status and export from the other if needed.
