What the free plan really includes
Everything you need to follow one team seriously: live scores that update live during games, full season schedules with TV networks, game start and final score alerts, schedule-change notifications, and auto-updating calendar feeds for your team and school. And browsing never requires an account at all — start at the live games slate or the schools directory.
Who upgrades, and why
Teammate is for the one-school fan who wants all of it. The free plan follows one sport; most people turn out to care about three or four — football in the fall, basketball in the winter, baseball and softball in the spring. Teammate opens every sport your school fields, and brings the Game Day Trips planner and tailgate hosting with it.
Head Coach is for the real-world mix — an alma mater, a spouse's school, the school where your kid plays — and for everyone past that: athletic-department staff, conference junkies, and families spread across the bracket. There is no school limit, every sport at each school, and the My Calendar master feed merges all of them into a single subscription your calendar app checks on its own.
Every paid plan bills monthly or yearly. Paying for the year saves up to 67% and covers football through the spring seasons on one payment: Head Coach is $19.99 for the whole year, about 67% less than twelve monthly payments.

Frequently asked questions
Is Varsity Slate free?
Yes. Browsing requires no account: schedules, live scores, standings, and rankings are open to everyone, with no ads. A free account adds the personal layer — follow one school and one sport, get game start and final score alerts, and create per-team and per-school calendar feeds. Free is the product, not a trial.
What do the paid plans add?
Breadth, not access — nothing is ever paywalled just to check a score. Teammate ($1.99/month or $9.99/year) opens every sport your one school plays, and adds the Game Day Trips planner and tailgate hosting. Head Coach ($4.99/month or $19.99/year) removes the school limit entirely and merges every school you follow into the My Calendar master feed.
How do I cancel?
Anytime, in about three taps: Settings → Billing → Manage subscription opens Stripe's secure billing portal, where you can cancel, switch plans, or update your card. Your plan stays active through the period you already paid for, and your account simply drops back to the free tier afterward — nothing is deleted.
When am I charged?
Checkout runs through Stripe, and every paid plan bills either way. Monthly plans bill on the same date each month: $1.99 for Teammate, $4.99 for Head Coach. Annual plans bill once a year: $9.99 and $19.99 — about 58% and 67% less than paying monthly for the same year. Promo codes are supported at checkout, and prices are in US dollars.
Do I need an account or credit card to browse?
No account and no card. Every schedule, score, and school page is open to everyone. You only create a free account when you want Varsity Slate to remember your teams — and only enter a card if you upgrade to a paid plan.
Does the free plan show ads?
No. Varsity Slate has no ads at any tier — free included — and no autoplay video. Paid plans exist to follow more sports and more schools, not to remove ads.
