Pelotero
A single competent developer can build and maintain a useful replacement (game entry, DB, ranking job, feed and profiles) in about a week; the main value you lose is the product's official branding and existing user/data.

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.
No open-source build does this yet
Nothing published replaces this one, so a replacement starts from an empty file. Here is what it would have to cover.
What a replacement has to do
- Users submit game results; store games and player stats; compute/update rankings; show feed, leaderboards and player/team pages.
What it still won’t have
- Official branding / recognition as the 'official' softball ranking
- Any existing userbase, historical data and community contributions
- Potential mobile apps or platform integrations the vendor may offer
- Polish, analytics, and production hardening of the paid product
What remains hard
- Brand trust

Runnable build prompt
Build a minimal Pelotero-style web app using: Postgres, Node.js (Express) backend, and React frontend, deployed on a single VPS or managed service (Render/Vercel + managed Postgres). Core features in scope: (1) authenticated user accounts (email or OAuth), (2) game submission form with validation (teams, players, date, scores), (3) Postgres schema for players/teams/games/stats, (4) backend job or endpoint to compute rankings and leaderboards and store results, (5) frontend pages: feed, game detail, player profile, team standings, and admin UI to edit entries. Out of scope: mobile native apps, internationalization, advanced analytics dashboards, and third-party league integrations. Include server-side error handling, input validation, background job retries for ranking computation, unit tests for API endpoints, and deployment/run instructions (env vars, migrations, cron job setup).
How we checked
How the score was reached
- Build verdict base78
- Evidence score78
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.
