Toornament is built for professional and semi-professional esports - its free tier caps participants at 32, and full access requires enterprise-level pricing. Fixture.cc gives you unlimited participants, all formats, embeddable widgets, and PDF export for free, with no account required.
Quick verdict
Both tools cover the major tournament formats well. Toornament goes deeper on esports-specific features - streaming integrations, API access, spectator tools, and white-labelling for large event organizers. Fixture.cc goes wider on accessibility - no participant limits, no signup, no cost - making it a better fit for clubs, schools, offices, and community groups at any scale.

Why switch
Toornament's free tier limits competitions to 32 participants. That rules out most sports leagues, school tournaments, and community events. Fixture.cc has no participant cap - run a 4-team padel box or a 64-team football league on the same free account.
Toornament is purpose-built for esports - its features, terminology, and community skew heavily toward competitive gaming. Fixture.cc is sport-neutral: the same tool runs football leagues, padel groups, school sports days, office tournaments, and darts nights without any gaming-specific assumptions.
Toornament requires an account before you can create or manage a competition. Fixture.cc uses a private access code and shareable admin links. Create a competition in under 60 seconds, share the public link, and manage everything from any browser - no profile, no email, no password.
Toornament's embed tools are gated behind paid plans. Fixture.cc includes an embeddable iframe widget on every competition - paste one line of code into any website and your live fixtures and standings appear there, syncing automatically as results are updated.
Export your competition as a PDF in A4, A3, or Letter format - portrait or landscape - with your fixture list, standings, bracket, and a QR code linking to the live page. Useful for printing and pinning at venues, handing to referees, or distributing to teams.
No participant limits. No account. No cost. A live competition page in 60 seconds.
