The mobile-first Kicktipp alternative for friend leagues
If you like what Kicktipp does — a private football Tippspiel with automatic scoring — but want it as a polished mobile app with one-link WhatsApp invites and a built-in group chat, BeTeam is the free alternative built for exactly that. Both are free and money-free; they differ in where and how your group plays.
iOS & Android · about 2 minutes to set up · no card, no deposit
- Push reminders before kickoff — fewer forgotten Tipps
- The chat sits inside the league, not in a separate thread
- Run an NBA or NFL league beside the Bundesliga one
The short version
Fit, not "better"
Respect where it's due: Kicktipp is the German Tipprunde institution, and its web-based rule configuration is deeper than anyone's. The honest comparison is about fit, not "better."

Where we're the better pick
When BeTeam is the better choice
Your group lives in WhatsApp and plays on phones
One shared link, everyone's in; push reminders before kickoff mean fewer forgotten Tipps.
You want the banter next to the table
The chat is inside the league, not in a separate thread.
Your group follows more than football
Run an NBA or NFL league beside the Bundesliga one — same group, same app (full competition list).
You want sane defaults, not a settings page
BeTeam's scoring (exact rules) is fixed where it should be fixed and flexible where it matters — Super Games, doubling, relative scoring.
Your group isn't German-speaking
Eight languages, including full right-to-left Hebrew and Arabic.
You want it kept private
A closed league with only the people you invite — no public profile, no strangers.
Honesty corner
When Kicktipp is the better choice
Honesty corner: if you want to hand-tune every point value, run exotic bonus schemes, and manage the league from a desktop browser — Kicktipp's configurability is unmatched, and its German-league tradition runs deep. Some groups love that; if that's you, stay.
