Nimenhuuto.com (Sports Connected Oy) is a calendar, sign-up, and messaging service for teams and groups — practices and games, IN/OUT sign-ups, team messages, statistics, and team web addresses. Hob is an association or club platform for hobby seasons — weekly classes, waitlists, season passes, conventions, and events — with online payments and a built-in Member registry (membership seasons, classes, applications, membership fees, digital member card) in a Hob environment.
The table below shows where each is strong. The comparison is based on public product descriptions; check current pricing and features with each vendor before you decide.
| Area | Hob | Nimenhuuto |
|---|---|---|
| Member registry | Yes — Member registry: membership seasons and classes, applications and approval, membership and joining fees, automation and roles for the association or club. Distinct from hobby activity sign-ups. | No — Team roster and member details (contacts, photos, custom fields, parent details for junior teams) — not an association member registry with membership seasons and application workflows. |
| Sign-ups / attendance | Yes — sign-ups for weekly classes and individual events; waitlists, visit passes, and season passes are included in the base package. | Yes — strong core for IN/OUT sign-ups to practices and games; participation statistics. Pro adds e.g. sign-up deadlines and max participants. |
| Events | One-off events in a Hob environment with sign-ups and payments. | Team events in the calendar (practices, games, other meet-ups); multi-day events in the Pro package. |
| Payments | Online payments for participations and membership fees via Hob balance (Paytrail, Stripe, bank, ePassi, Edenred, cash, and other organiser choices). | No equivalent public online collection for participation or membership fees; material bank (e.g. payment forms) and Excel export from sign-up stats to support billing. Pro package billed separately (Stripe or bank transfer). |
| Digital member card | Yes — digital member card in the Member registry in a Hob environment. | Not highlighted in public feature lists as an equivalent digital member card. |
| Messaging | Paid extra in a Hob environment — messages to hobbyists and participant groups. | Team messages, email list, and weekly digest; SMS in Pro (e.g. 100/month). |
| Mobile app | Hob works in the mobile browser; no separate mobile app. | Yes — personal mobile app (free trial, then app-store subscription); browser use is free. Team Pro package is a separate fee. |
| Room and equipment bookings | Yes — bookings module for rooms, equipment, and other resources in a Hob environment. | No equivalent bookings module in public descriptions. |
| AI assistants (MCP) | Yes — MCP server for AI assistants in a Hob environment. | No equivalent MCP server in public descriptions. |
| Pricing | €0 to start; core features free for associations; with paid add-ons, fees on paid objects (e.g. weekly class €0.12/participant/class, convention €1.25/participant, member registry €1.25/member/year, VAT 25.5%). No fixed monthly or starting fee. | Base version free per team; Pro €8/month per team on a 12-month term (€32/month month-to-month) and higher Business tier per public pricing; mobile app is a separate personal subscription. |
