LoveAdmin, now rebranded as Thrive4, is a long-established UK membership platform. Its Thrive4Grassroots arm supports football, rugby, cricket and multi-sport clubs with membership, subs collection, communications and club guidance. Club Supporter is club management software for grassroots clubs across many sports, with published pricing and no monthly platform fee.

Competitor information checked on 23 September 2026 from the Thrive4 and Thrive4Grassroots websites. Thrive4 (formerly LoveAdmin) does not publish its full pricing, so check its current rates directly. Thrive4 (formerly LoveAdmin) is a trademark of its owner; Club Supporter is not affiliated with it.
One club that switched to us from LoveAdmin told us it was paying 3.5% per transaction. Using that rate for a club with 200 members each paying £30 a month in subs (£6,000 a month collected):
| Per £30 payment | Monthly | Yearly | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Club Supporter (constituted club) | 65p (78p including VAT) | £130 (£156 including VAT) | £1,560 (£1,872 including VAT) |
| LoveAdmin at 3.5% (as reported) | £1.05 | £210 | £2,520 |
At that rate, Club Supporter would save this club £54 to £80 a month, or £648 to £960 a year. Thrive4 doesn't publish its pricing and rates may differ from club to club, so ask it for a quote for your club and compare. Our savings calculator can help.
