PitchsidePitchside is free to use, with no time limit. The free plan covers live scores, fixtures, tables, lineups and live commentary. Pitchside Pro adds the deeper analysis: momentum charts, shot maps with expected goals (xG), heatmaps, player traits, full team and player stats, leaderboards and desktop alerts. Pro costs $3.99 a month or $29.99 a year, and new accounts can try it free for 7 days without entering a card.
This page sets out exactly what’s in each plan, so you can decide whether you need Pro at all.

“Headline numbers” means the essentials on the free plan: a match’s top stats, a team’s record, and a player’s appearances, minutes, goals and assists. Pro opens up everything else, from passing and defending numbers to the full player breakdown inside a match.
What does Pro add, in practice?
Pro is for when the score isn’t enough and you want to know how a match actually went.
- Momentum shows which side was on top at each point of the match, with goals and cards marked on the timeline.
- Shot maps show where every shot came from, where it ended up in the goal, and its expected goals (xG): how likely a shot like that is to go in.
- Heatmaps and traits show where a player spent the match or the season, and how they rank against their peers across Europe’s top five leagues.
- Alerts tell you about goals, red cards and final scores for the teams and leagues you choose, so you don’t need to look at all.

How does the free trial work?
New accounts can try every Pro feature free for 7 days.
- No card needed. You start the trial in the extension, and you don’t enter any payment details.
- Nothing is charged when it ends. After 7 days, Pro simply switches off and you’re back on the free plan, with your teams and settings as they were.
- To keep Pro, choose a monthly or annual plan in the extension’s Settings.
- One trial per person. If you’ve had a Pro trial or subscription before, you can subscribe straight away instead.
How do I cancel or get a refund?
You can cancel any time from the extension’s Settings. Cancelling stops the next renewal, and you keep Pro until the end of the period you’ve already paid for.
If you’re not happy, you can get a full refund of any payment within 14 days of being charged, whether it was your first payment or a renewal. The details are in the terms.
Which plan should you choose?
It depends on how you follow football.
- Choose Free if you mostly want scores, fixtures and tables beside your work. That’s the core of Pitchside, and it stays free.
- Choose Pro if you like to understand a match beyond the score, follow players closely, or want alerts so you never have to check.
- Not sure? Start the 7-day trial. It costs nothing, needs no card, and ends on its own.
