A fan-engagement app isn't a hockey agent CRM
Fandelo started as a fan-engagement platform for sports, music, and entertainment, with a talent-management app added on top. Hockey representation needs more: documents that adapt, scouting profiles a GM will actually open, and an interface that isn't inherited from a completely different product.
The three things that decide the switch
No contract or e-signature tooling
Fandelo's published feature set covers talent profiles, scout profiles, schedules, tasks, and contacts — not contracts or signatures. Repline's document builder supports dynamic fields, like a dropdown to select a pricing package that populates directly into the agreement, with signature areas assigned by role so it's always clear which block is for the Agent and which is for the Player/Parent.
A scouting profile a GM will actually open
A basic talent or scout record isn't something you can hand to a GM. Repline generates a one-click, branded PDF profile straight from the player's CRM record — contract history, stats, notes — ready to send without leaving the platform.
An interface built for one job
Fandelo's management app carries the weight of a broader fan-engagement platform, and it shows. Repline is deliberately scoped to what a hockey agent actually needs day to day, so the workflow you use most — pipeline, contracts, contacts — is never buried under features you don't.
Fandelo vs. Repline
| Feature | Fandelo | Repline |
|---|---|---|
| What it's built for | General talent-agent companion app across sports, music, and entertainment | Purpose-built for hockey representation from the ground up |
| Contracts & e-signatures | Not part of the published feature set — profiles, schedules, tasks, and contacts only | Built-in e-signatures with dynamic fields (e.g., pricing package dropdowns) and role-based Agent vs. Player/Parent signature areas |
| Scouting profiles | Basic talent/scout profile records — no PDF export | One-click, branded PDF profile generated straight from CRM data — ready to send to a GM |
| Interface | Cluttered, dated layout inherited from a broader fan-engagement app | Clean, focused workspace built for one job — no non-essential features to dig through |
| Player pipeline | Generic talent profiles — no hockey-specific stages | Hockey-native: Prospect, Draft Eligible, Signed, Active |
| League calendars | Not part of the platform | OHL, WHL, QMJHL, NCAA dates auto-populated |
| Contact cadence | Key contacts list — no relationship or cadence tracking | Per-player cadence with auto-reset on interaction |
| Pricing | Contact Fandelo for current pricing | Pro $75/mo (1 user), Team $249/mo (5 users), Agency $695/mo (15 users) |
“What I needed was simple: a pricing dropdown in the agreement so I'm not editing the PDF by hand every time, a clear spot for the player's family to sign versus me, and a report I can send a GM without reformatting it first. That's what I was missing.”

Fandelo vs. Repline: which is right?
Looking for a Fandelo alternative?
Looking for a Fandelo alternative? The two reasons we hear are contracts and signatures: Fandelo's published feature set covers talent profiles, schedules, tasks and contacts, so agreements end up papered somewhere else. If you represent across sports and entertainment rather than hockey alone, Fandelo remains the broader fit and we'd say so.
Keep Fandelo if...
You're already deep into a contract with it, you represent talent across multiple sports or industries where a general fan-engagement platform adds value, and you handle contracts and e-signatures entirely outside the tool anyway.
Switch to Repline if...
Your primary job is representing hockey players. You need built-in e-signatures with dynamic pricing fields and clear Agent vs. Player/Parent signature roles, a scouting profile you can generate and send in one click, and an interface that only shows you what you actually use — not features carried over from a fan-engagement app.
