Heja
Stockholm, Sweden
What it is
Heja is a sports team management and messaging app for coaches, managers, players, parents, and guardians. Teams can schedule practices, games, and other activities, collect RSVPs, and send automatic reminders. Chat groups and individual or group messages support communication with team members, parents, and players. Members can post updates, share documents and game albums, and add comments or emoji reactions; photos and videos can be up to five minutes long. Heja says shared team information is visible only to team members and that members control which contact details are visible and to whom. It also says it is GDPR compliant and does not sell user data. The free plan is ad supported and allows one team admin, with scheduling, RSVPs, messaging, and document sharing. Team Pro is $13.75 a month and adds unlimited admins, desktop access, payment tracking, attendance statistics, polls, and ad-free access for coaches and admins. Calendar syncing and US-only fundraising are also available under specified plans or conditions.
