Game Set Engage

Game Set Engage is the fan app for clubs that want to reward the people who actually show up. Pick your club, join its campaigns, and earn engagement points for the things fans already do: checking in at matches and events, visiting partner venues, answering club surveys and quizzes, and predicting results. Points are per club and can only be earned, never bought. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Check in at matches and events with your location and earn points on the spot • Scan QR codes at the venue to join campaigns in seconds • Take part in surveys, quizzes and predictions the club runs for its fans • Bid your points in club auctions for signed shirts, tickets and experiences • Unlock special deal codes and discounts at partner venues near you • Track your points, history and rank on your profile • Get notified when a new campaign goes live or a match is about to start HOW POINTS WORK Every campaign shows how many points it pays before you join. Points belong to the club you earned them with and never expire while you are a member. Auctions and special deals spend points only. There is nothing to buy in the app. FOR CLUBS Game Set Engage gives clubs a direct channel to their most engaged fans, with campaigns they run from the GSE dashboard. Fans see only the clubs and campaigns that are live. Game Set Engage uses your location only while you use the app, to verify check-ins at venues and events. Camera access is used only to scan QR codes.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Game Set Engage at none against TheStands's shown. TheStands's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
