SportsEngine Motion has no monthly subscription, a free family app and a dedicated all-star cheer offering. Baseline is for gyms that want teams as their own rosters, privates and coach hours on one schedule, and each fee routed to the right bank account. In Motion, teams and tryouts are set up as classes.
In Baseline a team is its own roster, with its own season, schedule and payment plan. Tryout evaluations feed Roster Builder, and families register for the team their athlete was placed on.

Tryouts & team placement evaluations. Tryouts are registration classes; placement is a manual move, no scoring or evaluation (Oct 2026) Source
Floors, rooms and coaches share one schedule. Coaches text Baseline's AI assistant to set the hours they're open for privates, and families book those hours themselves.

See how Baseline runs your teams, classes and privates in a 40-minute walkthrough, then time the move to the start of your season.
Everything you need to know about our cheer gym management software.
If you want teams as their own rosters and privates booked against each coach's open hours, yes. In Motion, teams and tryouts are set up as classes. If a no-subscription model and Motion's free family app matter most to you, compare the two side by side.
Yes. Tryout evaluations, such as tumbling, jumps and stunting scores, feed Roster Builder, where you place athletes on teams and invite their families to register. Motion's help center shows tryouts built as classes, with no tryout scoring.
Yes. Every Baseline gym gets a dedicated account manager who handles the move from SportsEngine Motion. We import your member data, set up your schedule and plans, and build your website, typically in 1 to 2 weeks, and you can time the move to the start of your season.
Motion has no subscription: it charges a one-time start fee and a percentage of every payment, plus processing; it's laid out in the pricing section above. Baseline starts at $0/month. Processing and add-ons depend on how your gym runs, so we walk through your real numbers on a call.
We checked every mark against SportsEngine Motion's own website and help center in October 2026, and each one links to its source. Software changes, so if something here is out of date, tell us and we'll correct it.
