Why switch
PlayPass's free tier is limited to one live schedule, one manager, and a basic single-page website with no print or download option. Fixture.cc has no paid plans - every feature including PDF export and embeddable widgets is free, always.
PlayPass requires an account to create and manage schedules. Fixture.cc gives you a private access code when you create a competition. Open a browser, create your league in 60 seconds, share the link - no email or password required.
PlayPass restricts print and download to paid plans. Fixture.cc exports a print-ready PDF in A4, A3, or Letter format with your fixture list, standings, bracket, and a QR code - all free, always.
PlayPass does not offer an embeddable widget. Fixture.cc includes an iframe widget on every competition at no cost - paste one line of code into any webpage and your live fixtures and standings appear there.
PlayPass is a comprehensive sports management platform with registration forms, payment setup, waiver configuration, and a multi-page website builder. Fixture.cc has three steps - add team names, pick a format, share the link. If you just need a fixture page, Fixture.cc is the faster path.
No account, no subscription, no ads. A live shareable league page in 60 seconds.
