When CTM is the right tool
CTM goes broader. It's built for the whole club, not just one team. It's the better choice when:
- You manage multiple teams under one club. Heja is team-first; CTM is club-first.
- Payment collection is important. CTM's Stripe-powered payments work on every plan, including free Starter; on Heja, collecting fees needs a paid Pro plan for each team.
- You need compliance and safeguarding tools: Garda Vetting, certifications, GDPR.
- You want match scorecards, player stats, and season records.
- You need club branding with your logo and colours throughout the app.
When Heja is the right tool
Heja has a clear, focused product philosophy and does the things it does very well. It's the better choice when:
- You primarily need a simple, clean communication tool for one team. Heja excels at this.
- You have a younger coaching staff or parents who want the most minimal possible app.
- Your club's main need is messaging and scheduling, without payments or compliance.
- You run a youth team and want Heja's simple messaging with its child safeguarding controls.
