Disclosure first: we make Natterio, so we are not neutral. We have tried to be fair anyway. Every price below was checked against the provider's own page, or a dated third-party source where we say so, and we have flagged what could not be confirmed. Prices change, so treat the table as a snapshot from October 2026 and check before you pay.
The short version
- Pitchero is built around sports teams: squads, fixtures and results. It wins for clubs with several teams that want that structure out of the box.
- Wix is a flexible general builder. It wins if someone on your committee enjoys designing and you want total control.
- Squarespace produces polished-looking sites with little effort. It wins if looks matter most and your needs are simple.
- Natterio writes a first draft of the whole site for you, and is cheapest for a small club that needs a clear site rather than a team-management system.
Prices side by side
Pitchero, Wix, Squarespace and Natterio, side by side (October 2026 snapshot):
- Pitchero: free option is £0 for one team with no payment processing. Standard is £38 a month for up to 20 teams. Pro is £99 a month for unlimited teams.
- Wix: free site with Wix branding on a Wix address. Light is £9 a month, Core £16 and Business £25.
- Squarespace: no free plan, only a 14-day free trial. Basic is £12 a month billed annually (£16 monthly), Core £17 (£24 monthly) and Plus £29 (£36 monthly).
- Natterio: free option is £0 permanent, 3 pages, on a Natterio address. Starter is £7 a month, Community £14 and Pro £24.
Where the figures come from:
- Pitchero: its own pricing page, which lists Free, Standard (£38) and Pro (£99) per month. It says the free plan is for single-team clubs without payment processing, and that Standard covers up to 20 teams, with extra teams at £2.50 a month each. Card fees on its payment tools start from 2.42% plus 17p on Standard and 1.67% plus 15p on Pro. We could not tell from the page whether the monthly prices include VAT, so ask before you commit. Older third-party listings quote different figures, which is a reminder to check the live page.
- Wix: Wix's own page showed US dollar prices when we fetched it, so for UK pounds we relied on a Wise guide published in July 2025, which lists Light £9, Core £16 and Business £25 per month on annual billing, with a free plan that carries Wix branding and a Wix address. That source is over a year old; Wix may have changed its prices, so check its UK checkout.
- Squarespace: its pricing page lists Basic £12 (annual) or £16 (monthly), Core £17 or £24, Plus £29 or £36, and a 14-day free trial with no card needed.
- Natterio: our pricing page. The free plan needs no card; paid plans do.
Also remember the extras. A domain name typically costs a modest annual fee on top of any builder that does not bundle one (Wix, for example, includes a free domain for the first year on paid plans, but renewal is charged after that). Payment processing fees are separate from any plan price.
Pitchero
What it is: A platform designed for sports clubs, organised around teams, fixtures and results.
Where it wins:
- If you run several teams and want fixtures, results and squad pages to sit together, this structure is already there.
- Clubs with a lot of match-day content (reports, line-ups, results) benefit from a tool shaped for that.
- Its free plan costs nothing for a single-team club.
Where it frustrates:
- Price jumps quickly. The step from free to £38 a month is large for a small club that only needs a simple site.
- It is a sports tool. If you are a choir, a book group or a gardening society, the team-and-fixtures structure may be more than you need.
- The free plan has no payment processing, so collecting subs or kit money through it means upgrading.
Good fit: A multi-team football, rugby or cricket club that needs fixture and results handling, and can budget for it.
Wix
What it is: A general-purpose drag-and-drop builder.
Where it wins:
- Huge design freedom and a large app market.
- The free plan lets you build and try the editor before paying.
- If a committee member is confident with design tools, Wix gives them the room to do exactly what they want.
Where it frustrates:
- You are starting from a blank canvas. Wix has templates, but you decide the structure, write the words and add the club features yourself.
- Club features such as a forum or members area are add-ons you configure, and the cost can creep up.
- The free plan carries Wix ads and a Wix address; connecting your own domain requires a paid plan.
- Moving away later is hard. Check what export options exist before you build, because a site made in a drag-and-drop editor generally cannot be lifted out and run elsewhere.
Good fit: A club with a design-minded volunteer, a wish for a distinctive look, and time to build and maintain it.
Squarespace
What it is: A design-led website builder with polished templates.
Where it wins:
- Sites look professional with little effort, and the editor is tidy.
- Good for clubs where photography matters, such as an art or photography group.
- A single price covers hosting, templates and basic tools.
Where it frustrates:
- No permanent free plan. After the 14-day trial you pay, with the cheapest plan £12 a month on annual billing (£16 if you pay monthly).
- Not built for clubs. There are no fixtures or results tools, and membership and forum features are limited, so check what it currently offers against your list.
- Monthly billing costs noticeably more than annual, which suits a club that can pay a year up front less than one on a tight cash flow.
Good fit: A club that wants an attractive, simple brochure site and is happy to pay a modest monthly fee.
Natterio
What it is: An AI website builder for UK clubs, societies, charities and small local businesses. You answer questions about your group and it writes a first draft of the whole site, which you then edit.
Where it wins:
- Cheapest for a small club: a permanent free plan, and £7 a month for your own domain.
- Fast start. You do not begin with a blank page.
- Club-shaped by default, with a members' forum on the £14 plan and a shop with no Natterio transaction fee on the £24 plan (payment processor fees still apply).
- You can request an export of your content.
Where it frustrates (honestly):
- It does not have Pitchero's team, fixture and results structure. If match-day management is the point, Pitchero is built for that.
- The free plan is three pages and carries Natterio branding, which is only removed on the £24 plan.
- The forum is for adults aged 18 and over, so it is not a place for junior members.
- Each site belongs to one account, so handover relies on a shared club email (see handing over a club website when the committee changes).
- AI-written text needs checking, especially times, prices and names.
- It is a newer and smaller company than the other three.
Good fit: A small club, society or community group that needs a clear public website quickly, with a small budget and no designer.
How to choose
Ask three questions.
- Do we need team and fixture management? If yes, look at Pitchero first.
- Does anyone on the committee want to design it? If yes, Wix or Squarespace give you the room.
- Do we mostly need a clear site that says who we are, when we meet and how to join? Then price and speed matter most, and a free or low-cost builder will do.

Our suggestion
Whatever you pick, make three decisions before you spend anything: register everything to a club email address, write down the five things a newcomer needs to know, and keep a copy of your own content. These matter more than the platform.
If a free three-page site would do, you can start free on Natterio and see a draft in about a minute.
