Managing Your Squadd Subscription
Overview
Squadd offers a 4-week free trial when you create a new team. After the trial, a Pro subscription keeps all features active. This article explains the plans available, how to subscribe, and how to manage your subscription.
The Free Trial
Every new team gets a 4-week free trial with full Pro access. The trial period remaining is shown on the subscription screen and in Settings.
When the trial ends, your team moves to the free tier. You can subscribe at any time during or after the trial to continue without interruption.
Plans
| Plan | Best for |
|---|---|
| Pro Monthly | Flexibility, pay month by month |
| Pro Annual | Best value, paid once a year and works out cheaper than paying monthly |
Both plans include identical Pro features. Annual renews once per year; monthly renews every month. Current pricing is shown in the app before you subscribe, and can vary by store and country.
What Pro Includes
- Live match recording, with Man of the Match
- Lineup builder with fair-play rotation
- Full season stats — leaderboards and the season form chart
- Team chat (team channel + coaches-only channel)
- Player stickers and awards
- Squadd Wrapped (end-of-season highlights)
- Player ratings and MOTM within match reports
What Stays Free
You don't need Pro for the day-to-day essentials. These are free forever:
- Fixtures and match days
- Player availability
- Squad and medical/emergency details
- Training sessions and attendance
- Newsfeed and polls
- Basic stats (team record, form guide, top scorer)
- Subs and payment tracking
- Match reports and photos
- Invites and managing multiple teams
The match report itself is free, including player ratings and Man of the Match. Pro adds the live recording that fills a report in as the game happens.
Subscribing
- Go to Settings → Upgrade to Pro (or tap any Pro-gated feature)
- Select Monthly or Annual
- Tap Subscribe
- Complete the in-app purchase through the App Store (iPhone) or Google Play (Android)
Subscription activates immediately. You'll see a "Welcome to Pro" confirmation and all Pro features unlock straight away.
Restoring a Purchase
If you reinstalled the app or switched devices and your Pro features aren't showing:
- Go to Settings → Upgrade to Pro
- Tap Restore purchases
This re-checks your App Store or Play Store account and restores your active subscription.
Cancelling
Subscriptions are managed through your App Store or Google Play account — not through Squadd directly.
iPhone: Settings app → Apple ID → Subscriptions → Squadd → Cancel
Android: Play Store → Profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → Squadd → Cancel
After cancellation, Pro features remain active until the end of the current billing period. Your team then reverts to the free tier; no data is deleted.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I switch from monthly to annual?
Yes — cancel the monthly plan and subscribe to the annual plan. Pro access continues until the end of your current monthly period, then the annual plan starts.
What happens to my data if I don't renew?
All your fixtures, players, and match history are preserved. You retain read access to past data. Features that require Pro (live match, lineup builder, etc.) become unavailable until you resubscribe.
Does each team need its own subscription?
Yes — each Squadd team has its own subscription. If you coach multiple teams, each needs Pro activated separately.
I'm a coach, not the admin — can I subscribe?
Yes. Coaches and Team Admins can both manage the subscription from Settings.
Is there a refund policy?
Refunds are handled by Apple or Google according to their store policies. Contact them directly for refund requests.
Can parents pay for the subscription on behalf of the team?
No. Parents never see the subscribe screen — Squadd is always free for parents and players. If a parent wants to cover the cost, the coach or team admin makes the purchase and the parent can contribute to team funds outside the app.
