TT Club Manager

A competent developer can build and run a useful replacement (members, trainings, attendance, match reports) in a multi-week project; no vendor-only moats were evident and open-source group-management apps exist as prior art.

Not priced

No pricing page we fetched carried a figure, so there is nothing to compare against. The build side is still real.

No published price to break even against.

Open-source builds that already do this

Every project below is open source and already does this job today. Fork one, self-host it, or take the parts you need - the build prompt further down assumes an empty file, and this is the shortcut past that. Licences differ; check the one on each card before you ship. All TT Club Manager alternatives, with the arithmetic →

What a replacement has to do

  • Create trainings, allow members to register, record attendance and results, and generate basic reports/exports.

What it still won’t have

  • Vendor support and fast user support (WhatsApp/email support)
  • Polished native mobile apps distributed via App Store / Google Play
  • Any proprietary integrations the vendor maintains (e.g., federation integrations) until reimplemented
  • Polish, QA, and incremental feature improvements from the vendor

What remains hard

  • Product polish and ongoing maintenance

The base comes from the verdict. Everything under it is a check that either happened or did not, and each one is a fact frozen in this record rather than a judgement made at render time - so the same evidence always produces the same number.
