Before you move
When Pitchero suits you better.
Pitchero bundles a public club website - with hosting, a custom domain and club email accounts on paid plans - alongside its management tools. If a polished public website is your club's top priority and the monthly package price fits your budget, Pitchero may serve you well. Vanta focuses on running the club itself - teams, payments, scheduling, safeguarding and messaging - completely free.
