Looking for the best SportCam alternatives to stream your team's matches live without breaking the bank? Phone-based streaming apps with a built-in scoreboard — no expensive camera rig, no laptop — are now the easiest way for a parent, coach or club volunteer to broadcast a match.

While there are several options on the market, EasySportStream, SportCam and ScoreCam are the three you'll run into most often. All three let you go live straight from a smartphone, but their pricing and free features vary a lot. Here is what each SportCam alternative actually costs once you get past the "free to download" hook.

What it costs to just go live

EasySportStream — streaming to YouTube or Facebook is free, with no subscription required to start.

SportCam — streaming itself is free, but most of what makes a broadcast look finished (remote scoring, custom branding and sponsor logos, RTMP output) sits behind SportCam PRO: $19.99/month or $69.99/year.

ScoreCam — live streaming is the paid feature. "Live Stream + Pro" starts at $12.99/month ($59.99/year), or a $79.99 one-time Pro purchase. Facebook is not officially supported.

What it costs to let someone else run the score

EasySportStream — remote scoring, where a second person updates the score from their own phone while you film, is free for any signed-in user today.

SportCam — remote scoring requires PRO.

ScoreCam — remote scoring needs a separate companion app plus the PRO subscription.

A season, roughly

For a team streaming around 20 matches a year: EasySportStream is $0. SportCam PRO annual runs about $70. ScoreCam's paid tiers run about $60–$100/year just to unlock streaming in the first place.
