TournyScout puts every sanctioned travel-softball tournament in one place, so you can fill a season with events you chose deliberately — not the ones you happened to hear about from another parent. WHAT YOU GET • Continuous coverage of 15 sanctioning bodies — USSSA, PGF, USFA, Top Gun, Alliance, NSA, Perfect Game, Triple Crown, Titan, GSA, SFA, ESA, Legacy, Tennessee Fastpitch and Fastpitch Nation — in one searchable, distance-aware map. • The numbers a coach actually decides on: entry fee, game guarantee, registration deadline, gate fee, drive time from your home field, and which teams have already registered. • A fit score for your team across competition, cost and value, organizer reliability, schedule, family logistics and policy — each with a written explanation, not just a number. • Per-field change history, so you see not only what an event says today but what it said last week and when it changed. HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT DOESN'T KNOW Entry fees and game guarantees are genuinely missing for some events. TournyScout shows them as missing rather than guessing or printing a zero. Events stay marked unverified until a person checks them, and that distinction stays visible to you. PLAN THE WHOLE SEASON Shortlist events, compare them side by side, estimate the real cost including travel and lodging, then export a season planner you can hand to team parents — or drop the whole season into your calendar. FREE TO USE Browsing, searching and fit scores are free. An optional Founding Supporter tier keeps the site running and adds the season planner and head-to-head alerts. Coverage, not endorsement. Sanctioning body names and marks are used only to identify whose events are listed. TournyScout is independent, and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by any of them.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: TournyScout at every 4 days against BDL's every 26 months. TournyScout also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). BDL's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium) and ratings volume (452 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
