Comparison
Volley vs Spreadsheets
If you're currently using Spreadsheets or considering it, Volley is worth looking at. Different focus, different feature mix, different price.
Where Volley is stronger
Where Volley is stronger: live scoring with proper sport-specific rules across 9 sports, ELO rating tracking, club / group / event management in one place, built-in payments via Apple Pay / Google Pay / card, Apple Watch companion, and a real referee mode for contested-score scenarios. All free to start.
Where Spreadsheets works
What Spreadsheets is good at: focused on the specific problem it set out to solve. If you only need that one thing (e.g. just a printable bracket), it's a fine choice. If you need the rest (scoring, ratings, payments, clubs), Volley covers more ground.
Free to try on iOS and Android
Volley is free to download with no usage limits on the core features. Try it on your next event and decide for yourself.
