What does Franchise Hub cost?
$10 a month, or one payment that covers the rest of the Madden cycle.
"The rest of the cycle" means exactly that
A cycle is one Madden game year, and it ends on a fixed date that is the same for everybody — it is not twelve months counted from the day you pay. This one ends on 1 August 2027.
So the earlier you buy, the more you get for the money, and buying in the spring covers only the months that are left.
You never have to work that out yourself. Before you pay, the page shows:
- today's price — the discount comes off automatically while it is running
- how many months are left in the cycle, and the date it ends
- what that works out at per month, so you can hold it against $10
If the one payment has stopped being the cheaper way to pay, the page stops claiming it is. The number on the buy page is always the one to trust.
Listing your league costs nothing
Any league can be listed and have a public page without ever adding the bot, for as long as you like:
- Your league in Franchise Finder
- Your public league page — standings, schedule, rosters
- League TV
Those are pages about your league that you keep up yourself. The bot is what does the work — scores posted, XP and upgrades, trades, betting, achievements and the commissioner tools — and that is the part you pay for.
To buy it
- Open your league's Overview, then the License & Billing section
- Press Subscribe Monthly, or Buy the Year for the one payment
- Pay on Whop — use an email you can actually read
Buy the Year is the one-payment cycle option. It runs to the cycle's end date, not for twelve months from today.

Add-ons
One add-on, $5 a month, billed on its own. Drop it and nothing else changes.
Featured League & Custom Branding — your league sits at the top of Franchise Finder, and the bot uses your name and your logo in your Discord. One payment covers both; they are not sold separately.
You add it from the same place: your league's Overview, under License & Billing.
Questions
Which is cheaper, monthly or the one payment?
Early in a cycle, the one payment, by a distance. Late in a cycle, monthly can win — which is why the buy page does the sum with the real dates instead of promising a saving that has quietly stopped being true.
Can I see it working before I pay?
You can list your league and set up its public page first, which costs nothing and shows you the site side. The bot itself is paid from the day you add it — there is no trial of it.
Do my team owners pay anything?
No. One payment covers the league. Members never pay.
Do coaches need an account?
No. They just need to be in your Discord.
What if I stop paying?
The paid features switch off. Nothing is deleted. Start again and it all comes back.
