$40, $80 or $150, paid one time
Breakroom Pick'em costs $40, $80 or $150, depending on the size of your league. The organizer pays once and keeps the league. Players never pay anything.
The three plans
Huddle
For a team, a shift or a group of friendsUp to 40 players in 1 league. The Commish builds the sheet and grades the games when you ask.
Varsity
For a whole officeUp to 100 players in each of 3 leagues. The Commish can build the sheet and grade the games on its own.
Franchise
For a company with several officesUp to 250 players in each of 10 leagues. The Commish can build the sheet and grade the games on its own.
What changes between the plans
Three things: how many people can play, how many leagues you can run, and whether the Commish works on its own or waits for you to ask.
| Plan | Price, one time | Players in a league | Leagues | The Commish | Schedule and score lookups a week | To keep the Commish another year |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Huddle | $40 | Up to 40 | 1 | Builds the sheet and grades the games when you ask | 5 | $20 |
| Varsity | $80 | Up to 100 | 3 | Can build the sheet and grade the games on its own | 10 for each league | $40 |
| Franchise | $150 | Up to 250 | 10 | Can build the sheet and grade the games on its own | 20 for each league | $75 |
A full Huddle league works out to $1 a player, once. A full Varsity league is $0.80 a player and a full Franchise league is $0.60. That's only arithmetic, though. Nobody is charged per player, and players are never charged at all.
What every plan includes
- Every sport, on one sheet if you like: football, basketball, hockey, baseball, soccer with draws, a golf tournament, a race, a fight card, or anything you type in.
- Classic or confidence scoring, the Star Pick and the Lone Wolf bonus.
- House questions, such as "Will the Monday meeting start on time?"
- The Monday memo, in the voice you choose.
- Ask the Commish, for questions about your league's rules and standings.
- The Big Board, a TV view for the break room.
- Posts to Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord or Google Chat.
- A rooting guide that tells each player which results they need.
- No accounts for players, no ads and no trackers.
What happens after the first year
Your league, your players and all the history stay, and that's free. The Commish, the AI helper, is included for 12 months from the day you buy. After that you have two choices.
- Keep the Commish. $20, $40 or $75 for another year, depending on your plan. That's half the plan price.
- Run it by hand, for free. Paste the schedule and tap the winners yourself. The standings, the awards and a basic Monday memo still happen on their own.
Nothing renews by itself, and you're never charged unless you press the button. If you pay early, the new year is added to the end of the one you have.
| Plan | Year 1 | Through year 2 | Through year 3 | If you run it by hand after year 1 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Huddle | $40 | $60 | $80 | $40, total |
| Varsity | $80 | $120 | $160 | $80, total |
| Franchise | $150 | $225 | $300 | $150, total |
Moving up
If your league outgrows its plan, you pay only the difference to move up. Huddle to Varsity is $40. Varsity to Franchise is $70. Huddle to Franchise is $110. Everyone's picks, the standings and the league link stay exactly as they are.
Refunds
Set up your league, invite your office and make your picks. If it isn't for you, tell me within 30 days of buying, before your first week is graded, and I'll refund all of it. Write to help@breakroompickem.com from the email you paid with.
Once a week has been graded, the purchase is final. A week counts as graded as soon as one result has been entered in it. The same rule covers a move-up or another year of the Commish: within 30 days, before a week is graded on it.
When a plan is refunded, its leagues are turned off. If something on my end breaks your league, write to me and I'll refund you, whatever week it is.
What the price isn't
- It isn't an entry fee. It buys software for the organizer.
- It isn't charged per player, and players never pay.
- It doesn't depend on who wins. Nothing in the product does.
- None of it goes into or comes out of a pool. I never hold money for a league.
Questions
Is it a subscription?
No. You pay once and nothing renews by itself. The league is yours to keep. The Commish, the AI helper, is included for the first year. After that you can pay to keep it ($20, $40 or $75 for another year, depending on your plan) or run the league by hand for free.
Who pays? Do players ever pay?
One person pays: the organizer, who's called the Captain. It's a software purchase, like buying any other tool for the office. Players never pay anything, to me or to each other.
What if our league outgrows its plan?
Go to the Captain sign-in page and move up. You only pay the difference between the two plans. Huddle to Varsity is $40. Everyone's picks, the standings and the league link stay the same.
What happens after the first year?
Your league keeps going. The players, the picks, the standings and the history all stay, and that costs nothing. The part with a time limit is the Commish, the AI helper. It comes with every plan for the first year. After that you can pay to keep it for another year ($20, $40 or $75, depending on your plan), or run the league by hand for free. By hand means you paste the schedule and tap the winners yourself. You're never charged unless you press the button.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. Tell me within 30 days of buying, before your first week is graded, and I'll refund all of it. Write to help@breakroompickem.com from the email you paid with. Once a week has been graded, the purchase is final. When a plan is refunded, its leagues are turned off.
Can I try it before paying?
Yes. The demo is a made-up league that runs in your browser. You can make picks, look at the standings, read the memo and try the Captain's desk. There's nothing to install.
