A LoveAdmin alternative with the price on the page
LoveAdmin is becoming Thrive4, and neither publishes what a club will pay. If a rebrand is making you look around anyway, here is the whole of our pricing in one sentence.
LoveAdmin is becoming Thrive4, here is what that means
LoveAdmin has been around a long time, first as PaySubsOnline and then as LoveAdmin, and it is now moving to Thrive4 with separate brands for grassroots clubs, gymnastics, and activity providers. For an existing club, nothing changes at sign-in yet: you still log in through the LoveAdmin platform, which thrive4.com now refers to as LoveAdmin v1. Both names are in play at once, which is why searching for one of them turns up the other.
A rebrand is the moment most committees actually re-read their contract, and if you are doing that anyway, the first question worth asking is what you are paying and what it covers.
ClubPal answers that in one line: no subscription at any club size, 20p + 3.5% on payments taken through the platform, and nothing at all in a month when no money moves. Whether that works out cheaper depends on how your club takes its money, which is why our pricing is published rather than quoted.

The numbers, as far as they are public
There is no side by side table here, because LoveAdmin and Thrive4 do not publish their prices, and a figure from a review site is not one we can check. Ours is published in full, so you have one fixed number to take into that conversation.
If you are a LoveAdmin or Thrive4 customer and want their real figures shown here, send us your invoice with the club details removed and we will add them with a source note.
LoveAdmin pricing checked on 26 August 2026, when none was published. Verify directly with them before making a decision on cost alone.

ClubPal is built for volunteer committees who set it up themselves in an evening, and prices itself accordingly.
What switching actually involves
LoveAdmin competes for the same clubs we do. If you run one of these, the sport page covers the admin in more detail: football club management software, rugby club management software, cricket club management software, and gymnastics club management software.
More detail on the process is on the switching page, or talk to us about your club before you decide.
Moving from LoveAdmin
Is LoveAdmin now Thrive4?
LoveAdmin is rebranding to Thrive4, with separate brands for grassroots clubs, gymnastics and activity providers. Existing clubs still sign in through the LoveAdmin platform, which thrive4.com refers to as LoveAdmin v1, so both names are in use at once.
How much does LoveAdmin cost?
LoveAdmin and Thrive4 do not publish prices. loveadmin.com/pricing redirects to thrive4.com, which lists none and asks you to get in touch. Checked 26 August 2026.
What is a good alternative to LoveAdmin or Thrive4?
ClubPal publishes its whole price: no subscription at any club size, 20p + 3.5% per transaction with card processing included, and nothing in a month when no money moves. A volunteer committee can set it up in an evening, with no quote and no implementation fee.
Does ClubPal return its fee when a club refunds a member?
Yes. ClubPal returns its whole fee, including the part that covers card processing, in proportion to the amount refunded, so cancelling a session costs the club nothing.
