Free gives you the full, viewable site with manual sync. Paid ($5/season or $20/title-year) turns on hands-off sync, the Discord hub and AI recaps.
Every FranchiseHuddle league starts free, and the free tier is genuinely useful — the whole site is live and viewable. Paid isn’t about unlocking your data; it’s about turning off the manual work.
Free tier
- The full league site — standings, schedules, rosters, box scores, trades, history — all viewable.
- Manual sync: the commissioner can trigger a sync by hand (with a cooldown between syncs). You do the clicking.
- Owners can claim teams, and core league features work.
Paid tier
Paid switches on the automation that makes the league run itself:
- Hands-off scheduled sync — FranchiseHuddle polls EA on its own, so nobody has to click “sync” after an advance.
- The weekly Discord hub — auto-created channels, auto-posted scoreboards, matchups and recaps.
- AI news & recaps — written game recaps, headlines and free-agency wraps generated from the real stats.
Pricing
Paid is $5 per season or $20 per title-year, and promo codes for 50% or 100% off exist if you have one. You manage or cancel any time from your league’s billing settings. See the Billing & Plans topic for the full detail.
- Free: the full site is live and viewable, with manual sync.
- Paid: hands-off sync, the Discord hub, and AI recaps.
- $5 per season or $20 per title-year; promo codes available.
- Manage or cancel any time — your league never disappears.
Think of it this way: free lets everyone see the league; paid means the league keeps itself current without you. Most commissioners start free to get set up, then flip on paid once they want the sync to stop needing them.
