CTM vs Pitchero
Pitchero has been the go-to platform for UK grassroots clubs for over a decade. CTM takes a different approach: native mobile-first, no club website. Here's the honest difference.

When CTM is the right tool
CTM is for clubs that want to run their admin from their phone, without the overhead of a public website to maintain.
- You want a native mobile app. CTM is iOS and Android native; Pitchero's app is a companion to the website.
- You don't need a public club website. You just need to run your club efficiently.
- Pricing transparency matters. CTM's plans are published openly from €0.
- You need Garda Vetting and GDPR compliance built in from day one, not bolted on later.
- You want straightforward payment collection without configuring a website backend.
- You want match scorecards and player stats that live in the app, not buried in a CMS.
- You want faster, simpler onboarding. No website setup, just download and go.
When Pitchero is the right tool
Pitchero has built deep relationships with UK grassroots over many years. It's the better choice when:
- Your club wants a public-facing club website alongside the management tools. Pitchero bundles both.
- You play in UK leagues that integrate with Pitchero for results and fixtures.
- Your club has a long history with Pitchero and migration would be disruptive.
- You need FA and league-level integration that Pitchero has built over many years.
