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?
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.
