Fragnet vs Battlefy
If your event lives or dies on a bracket, use Battlefy — it has one and Fragnet does not. If it lives or dies on getting 64 people a room code at 21:00 without leaking it, keep reading.
Choose Battlefy if…
- Your event is a bracket and you want the platform to draw, seed and advance it.
- You need results reported and standings tracked inside the same tool.
- You want an established brand players already recognise on a listing.
- You are running a bracketed community tournament for a title with an existing Battlefy scene.
- You want one tool rather than two, and a bracket is non-negotiable.
Choose Fragnet if…
- Your event is a custom-room lobby or a points-based battle royale, where there is no bracket to draw.
- The hard part of your night is distributing a room ID without it leaking half an hour early.
- You run the same event weekly and want to clone rather than rebuild.
- You want on-site check-in without asking anyone to install an app.
- You want certainty that nobody takes a percentage of your entry fees, because nobody is holding them.

Pricing
Battlefy publishes its own pricing and it changes; read it at battlefy.com rather than trusting a figure here. Checked August 2026.
Fragnet is free with no paid tier and takes 0% of entry fees and prize money — because it never holds either. That is architecture rather than a promotional rate.
What we can’t tell you
We have not run a large paid event on their platform, used their paid or enterprise tiers, or tested their support. This compares documented capability and published pricing only. Pricing changes — follow the link and check it yourself rather than trusting a number on our page.
Common questions
- Can I use both?
- Yes, and many organizers do: Battlefy or another bracket tool for the tree, Fragnet for the listing, approvals, passes, check-in and room credentials.
- Is Fragnet a Battlefy alternative?
- Only for events that do not need a bracket. For bracketed events it is a complement, not a replacement — we do not have the feature you would be replacing.
The half Battlefy doesn’t cover
Room reveal, QR passes and browser check-in, free.
