Hudl is the largest company in sports technology and video analysis, but recently their acquisition of TeamUp has prompted them to move into the fundraising space. Teamfi has been providing high quality digital fundraising tools for years.
Hudl’s partnership with TeamUp gives them the tools they need to help their current customers fundraise, but how do their services compare to Teamfi?
In this comparison we will look at the differences in fundraising tools, features, and pricing stack up between the two platforms. See why you might choose one platform over the other after analyzing the details.
Teamfi is best for programs that are looking to avoid the constraints of product sales, or large scale company driven events. Teamfi provides easily accessible tools that make fundraising as convenient as possible for the user.
Teamfi provides all of these online digital tools for $0 in platform fees guaranteeing you will walk away with every dollar you raise after standard credit card processing fees.
So what are some scenarios in which Teamfi is best for?
Teamfi works best for:
Hudl Fundraising from Team Up brings in the fundraising tools from Team Up into Hudl’s preexisting ecosystem.
Team Up offers both an e-commerce based product sale fundraiser as well as a blitz style event fundraiser with heavy representative involvement.
So what are some scenarios in which Hudl Fundraising is best for?
Hudl Fundraising works best for:
Teamfi offers simple and easily accessible digital fundraising products that allow you to keep more of what you raise. Teamfi simplifies the fundraising process giving your organization full control and flexibility when it comes to your fundraiser.
Hudl Fundraising uses slightly different methods of fundraising that result in taking home less of your fundraiser, but may be helpful to users who are heavily involved in the preexisting Hudl ecosystem, or are determined to sell products to raise funds.
See the differences between the two here, and make the best choice for your organization.
When it comes to fundraising pricing transparency is absolutely essential. Knowing how much of what you raise you will walk away with can be the key deciding factor for many before they choose their fundraising platform. Teamfi keeps their pricing 100% transparent and available right on their website. Hudl Fundraising does list their margins publicly on their product fundraising, but does not publicly list their pricing for their Team Up Event.
Understanding what you will take home when you fundraise is crucial to a program or organization's ability to budget and plan. If pricing is not transparent it can require additional time and effort on the behalf of your organization to discover what you will pay.
Teamfi has their pricing publicly listed and available on their website. There are no upfront costs or surprise fees. Teamfi has $0 in platform fees meaning the only thing you pay is standard credit card processing fees from Teamfi’s partner Stripe. These fees of 2.9% + $0.30 per donation come out to around 3.5% of your donations. This means with Teamfi you will net an average of 96.5% of your fundraiser.
Because Hudl Fundraising from Team Up does not publicly list their pricing plan for their events it will likely have to be negotiated either with a sales rep or Hudl/Team Up directly. This additional time spent deliberating details could be spent onboarding and sharing your fundraiser. Team Up does publicly list their revenue share for product sales. For sheets and pillows they guarantee $20 dollars per item sold with items listed starting at $49.99, and they note a 30% margin on their towels and pillows sale.
When engaging in product sales through Hudl Fundraising you will be bringing in significantly less than half of all sales towards your fundraising.
Pricing clarity is a key component of any fundraising platform, and Teamfi publicly listing their pricing saves your organization time and money.
Let’s take a look at how the two compare on pricing and fees. We will compare Teamfi’s pricing to both Team Up’s Fundraising page as well as their Event page. Although because we do not have publicly available pricing data we will have to use estimates based on industry standards for similar services.
With Teamfi not only will you know more about what you will pay beforehand, you will also be assured you will face no platform fees and keep more of your fundraiser. Click here to see more on Teamfi’s pricing page.

"Loved this fundraiser and I thought it was the easiest thing ever. I had access to everything and was able to do things on my end. If I ever had a question, you were super easy to work with and got back to me right away. Also, you don't take advantage of the percentage on the back end, which we appreciate!"

“All-in-all, I absolutely LOVED TEAMFI. The communication and support was excellent, player acclimation was incredibly simple, and donors appreciated the text messages over emails. The campaign was light years ahead of similar programs."

Fundraising doesn’t stop, and neither should your support. That’s why our team is available to help you quickly and clearly, without hidden fees or long wait times. From onboarding to live campaign questions, you’ll get practical, hands-on guidance from real people who understand how the platform was built and how fundraisers actually run—so you can stay focused on raising money, not figuring out software.
“The communication & support was excellent.”

Does Hudl Fundraising support calendar fundraisers or A-thons?
No. Hudl Fundraising is strictly focused on their signature gamified team events and traditional peer-to-peer donation drives. If you want to use the highly popular "Pick-a-Date" calendar model or a structured pledge-based "A-thon" (like a hit-a-thon or free-throw-a-thon), you will need to use Teamfi.
Do I have to use Hudl's video analysis software to use Hudl Fundraising?
No, you do not have to purchase a Hudl video subscription to use their fundraising platform. However, the system is designed to seamlessly connect with an existing Hudl account. If you want a platform that operates completely independently of any specific video tools, Teamfi provides a stand-alone solution with zero ties to other software.
Is there a physical salesperson involved in the setup process?
Do donors have to write checks or pay in cash?
No. Donors support the team online by clicking the player's link and paying securely with a credit card, debit card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. It works just like buying something online.
How does Hudl Fundraising make money?
Unlike Teamfi, Hudl Fundraising is a commission-based platform. They do not charge an upfront fee, but they take a percentage out of the total money your team raises. For example, if your team raises $10,000, Hudl keeps a chunk of those donations as their platform fee before sending you the rest. The exact fee is not publicly listed.
Can non-athletic teams (like band, debate, robotics, or drama) use Hudl Fundraising, or is it only for sports?
While Hudl Fundraising (from TeamUp) is technically capable of supporting non-athletic school groups, the entire platform is deeply engineered for athletic departments, sports teams, and coaches. Because Hudl operates as a sports-first technology ecosystem, their platform access, roster syncing, and administrative permissions are typically tied directly to a school’s Athletic Director. This means arts programs or academic clubs often face bureaucratic hurdles trying to gain access to the system.
Teamfi, on the other hand, is completely independent and universally open to any group. Whether you are fundraising for a high school marching band, a middle school robotics club, a theater production, or a cheer squad, you can set up a Teamfi campaign on your own in minutes. There are no athletic department logins or sports-network integrations required to get your campaign off the ground.
Both Teamfi and Hudl Fundraising from Team Up offer viable, modern fundraising solutions that can help your sports program or organization reach its financial goals.
While both platforms leverage digital reach to simplify fundraising, looking closely at the details reveals that Teamfi provides incredible flexible digital fundraising options while winning on transparency and price. Hudl Fundraising from TeamUp offers gamified, event-based donation campaigns designed primarily for athletic departments. However, Teamfi provides a wider array of digital models—including Pick-a-Date calendars and custom A-thons—while keeping your campaign completely platform fee-free.
With Teamfi, there are no platform fees, contracts, or sales rep commissions. The only charge is standard credit card processing, meaning your team walks away with an average of 96.5% of everything you raise.
