Do you play friendly pickup sports, like hockey, soccer or basketball? Would you like help choosing which players to be on each team, so that everyone enjoys the game? TeamChooser will select the teams and make sure the game is fair. TeamChooser will work for pretty much any two-team game you can think of: rugby scrimmages, volleyball, baseball, and flag football. TeamChooser uses a specialized algorithm developed over 16 years of experimentation and revision. Here’s how it works: enter the name of each player and give a rating for their level of effectiveness. At game time, you indicate who is there to play. Then, push a button and TeamChooser’s proprietary technology will divide the players into two perfectly-balanced teams. Everyone will have fun, not just the players on the winning team! If you wish, you can balance the number of offense and defense players on each team, and you can pre-assign players to a specific team. If players show up after teams have been made, TeamChooser lets you freeze the assignments and add the new players to the teams. Also, you can manage any number of games, each with different players. Have a great game!

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Bracket Builder at 4.4 against TeamChooser's 2.3. Bracket Builder also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 12 months) and ratings volume (2.7K vs 3). TeamChooser's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and review sentiment (75% vs 49%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bracket Builder sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per year. TeamChooser asks for nothing beyond the download.
Bracket Builder holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bracket Builder has 2.7K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of TeamChooser's written reviews are positive against 49% of Bracket Builder's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
TeamChooser ships an update every 12 months, Bracket Builder every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
