How Jersey Watch is different
A few product details that usually matter once you are past the spreadsheet.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Jersey Watch a direct TeamLinkt replacement?
Many organizations use Jersey Watch for the same core jobs in one place: public website, online registration and payments, schedules, and parent communication. Whether it is a full replacement depends on which TeamLinkt features you rely on today. Our team can map your current setup on a short call.
TeamLinkt is free. Why would we pay for Jersey Watch?
TeamLinkt's core software really is free for the organization—the model is just funded differently. Families see ads in the app (removing them is a paid family subscription), payment processing fees apply to registrations, and some features are sold as paid annual bundles.
Jersey Watch charges a flat, published subscription instead—no ads for your families on any plan, and your software cost stays the same as your program grows. Many boards decide a predictable subscription is worth it for an ad-free parent experience; others are happy with the trade.
When is TeamLinkt a better fit than Jersey Watch?
TeamLinkt is often a better fit when $0 organization software cost is non-negotiable, team chat in a free app is the main need, or finding sponsors and tracking fundraiser progress is a must-have. Jersey Watch is the better fit when flat annual pricing, an ad-free family experience, and a custom website without extra fees matter more than a free sticker price.
How does pricing compare?
The models are different. TeamLinkt's core tools are free for the organization, with revenue coming from payment processing fees, in-app advertising, and an optional paid family subscription. Paid plans offer feature bundles with optional add-ons for features like sponsors.
Jersey Watch publishes flat annual plans on our pricing page. Pay $19 for your first month and then $348 after on the entry plan. All paid plans include all features, and there are no additional fees for domain, migration, or design support. Processing fees are 3.5% + $1 for everyone.
Can we try Jersey Watch before we pay?
Yes. You can create a free trial account to explore the website builder, create registration programs, send test messages, and create schedules before making a payment. No credit card required.
Can we migrate our data from TeamLinkt?
Our team will migrate contact lists, registration forms, and website content. To preserve past registration and financial data, export your data from TeamLinkt before switching platforms.
How long does it take to go live on Jersey Watch?
It depends on the path you choose. You can create a new self-service account and go live the same day you sign up. If you'd like us to handle the switch, our Customer Care team's white-glove migration—moving your website content and registration forms and connecting your domain—typically takes about one business day.
