How much does TourneyX cost?

TourneyX publishes a price of $6.50 per angler, charged per tournament, with payment handled through PayPal or Stripe. There is no monthly subscription — you pay based on how many anglers fish. Check their pricing page for the current figure before deciding, since vendors change pricing.

Is ReelRank cheaper than TourneyX?

It depends entirely on your size. ReelRank is a flat monthly plan, so at $99 a month the crossover against $6.50 per angler is around 183 angler-entries a year. Below that TourneyX costs less; above it the flat plan does, and the difference grows as your circuit grows.

Should I switch from TourneyX to ReelRank?

Not if you run a few events a year with small fields — per-angler pricing is genuinely cheaper at that size. It is worth considering if you run multiple concurrent seasons, several divisions with their own directors, or enough angler-entries that per-angler fees have become a real line item.

Can ReelRank handle multi-division circuits?

Yes. Divisions sit under a series, each with its own seasons, events, and standings, and administrators can be scoped to a single division so its director manages only their own. Division results roll up to circuit-wide standings without anyone re-entering scores.

What happens to our history if we move?

Past seasons stay intact as their own records, so previous standings and results remain readable after you move. The cleanest time to switch is at a season boundary rather than mid-season, so a season lives entirely in one system.

Does ReelRank do online or catch-photo-release tournaments?

ReelRank is built primarily around scheduled events with weigh-ins and season-long standings. If your events are mainly online or catch-photo-release contests, evaluate carefully against tools that specialise in that format rather than assuming a general fit.

Comparison

ReelRank vs TourneyX

Two different bets on how tournament software should be paid for.

Competitor pricing and features verified July 31, 2026 from their own published pages — see sources.

TourneyX has been running fishing tournaments for years and is genuinely good at what it does — particularly online and catch-photo-release formats, where it has a long track record and a large angler base. If you run a handful of events a year, its per-angler pricing is straightforward and you may well pay less than you would with us. The difference worth understanding before you switch is not a feature checklist. It is what happens to your bill, and to your admin workload, when a club turns into a circuit.

Where that flips: ~183 angler-entries a year

The part that actually differs: how the bill scales

TourneyX publishes a per-angler price of $6.50. That model has a real advantage — you pay nothing in the off-season, nothing for an event that does not fill, and nothing at all in a year you do not fish. For a club running four events with twenty anglers, that is roughly $520 a year, and it is hard to argue with.

The arithmetic changes direction as you grow, because the fee is charged per angler, per event. Two hundred angler-entries costs about $1,300. A twenty-event trail averaging sixty anglers is around $7,800. A national trail running 435 events a year is well into five figures — and every division you add makes it larger.

ReelRank charges a flat monthly plan instead. The Reservoir is $99 a month with no cap on seasons or events, which is $1,188 a year whether you run eight events or eighty. Compared against $6.50 per angler, the crossover lands near 183 angler-entries a year: below that TourneyX is cheaper, above it the flat plan is, and the gap widens the bigger you get.

Who should not switch to us

If you run a few events a year with modest fields, stay where you are. Per-angler pricing is genuinely cheaper at that size, and a monthly subscription for software you touch four weekends a year is a bad trade no matter whose logo is on it. We would rather tell you that now than collect two months of subscription before you work it out.

The same goes if your events are primarily online or catch-photo-release contests with a national angler base. That is the format TourneyX has spent years on, and "we also do that" is not a reason to move.

Switching mid-season is disruptive — the season boundary is the moment

Where ReelRank is built differently: the season, not the event

ReelRank is organised around the season rather than the individual tournament. Teams belong to a season, registrations and scores hang off that season, and the same angler can sit on different teams in different seasons without any of that history being overwritten. Angler-of-the-Year standings are a consequence of scoring an event rather than a separate thing you maintain.

That shape matters most for the thing clubs grow into: several seasons running at once. A club with a regular season, a pro series, and a two-day championship is running three overlapping structures with different teams and different rules, and it needs all three to keep their own standings without anyone re-keying results.

Teams, registrations, and scores are all tied to a specific season
Anglers can fish different teams across concurrent seasons
AOY standings update from the scores you already entered at the scales
Championship events scored without distorting the season race

Delegated administration, when one director is not enough

A single club night needs one person with the login. A multi-division trail does not: each division has its own director who needs to run their own events without being handed the keys to everyone else's. ReelRank models that directly — administrators can be scoped to a series or a division, so a division director sees and manages their own division and nothing beyond it.

This is the piece that tends to decide things for federations rather than clubs. If you are running eighty divisions through one shared account today, that is the workflow worth asking us to show you.

Work out whether the numbers favour you

ReelRank is free while we are in beta, so you can set up a season and run a real event before any of this costs anything. If you are running several divisions, talk to us instead — that setup is worth walking through properly.
