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.
A rebrand is a reasonable moment to check what you pay
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. Existing clubs still sign in through the LoveAdmin platform while that transition runs, so both names are in play at once.
None of that is a criticism. Rebrands happen, and a long-established platform with fifteen years behind it knows things a newer one does not. But 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.
Fifteen years of building for membership organisations shows, particularly for larger clubs with staff rather than a volunteer committee.
ClubPal is built for volunteer committees who set it up themselves in an evening, and prices itself accordingly.

The numbers, as far as they are public
We would normally put a cost table here with both platforms side by side. We cannot, because LoveAdmin and Thrive4 do not publish their prices, and we are not going to invent them or repeat a figure from a review site as though we had checked it. What we can do is publish ours in full, so you have one honest number to take into that conversation.
If you are a LoveAdmin or Thrive4 customer and want this page to carry their real figures, 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.
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.
