Google Sheets is free, familiar, and already on your phone. Plenty of organizers use it to run tournaments — tracking brackets in one tab, standings in another, and a schedule in a third. It works, up to a point. Score7 is purpose-built for tournaments, handling brackets, results, standings, and scheduling automatically.

Here's how they compare.

Both tools build brackets and run leagues. They differ on pricing model, format depth, and who each one is really built for.
