Frequently asked questions

Can't find what you're looking for? Get in touch.

Is it free?

Yes — the free tier lets you log up to 10 matches. After that, a Pro subscription (£4.99/month) gives you unlimited matches, CSV export, and full season history.

Do I need a credit card to sign up?

No. The free tier requires no payment details at all. You only need a card if you upgrade to Pro.

Which FA levels does it support?

RefLedger works for all levels of the FA refereeing pyramid — from Level 9 (grassroots) up to Level 4 and beyond. Promotion tracking targets are configurable for your current level and season.

What information do I need to log a match?

At minimum: date, competition name, home and away teams, your role (REF, AR, or 4TH), and your match fee. Mileage, who pays, and payment method are optional but recommended.

Can I export my data?

Yes. Pro users can export their full match history as a CSV file — useful for end-of-season tax records or your own spreadsheets.

How does the payment chase message work?

For each unpaid match, click 'Chase Payment' and a pre-written message is copied to your clipboard. It includes the match date, teams, and the amount owed. Just paste it into WhatsApp, email, or text.

Is my data secure?

Yes. RefLedger uses Google Firebase for authentication and data storage, with encrypted connections. Your data is only visible to you.

Does it work on mobile?

RefLedger is a web app that works in any modern mobile browser — no app store install needed. Just open it on your phone after the match.

Can I use it for misconduct reports?

Yes. The Reports section generates professional FA-ready misconduct report text from the details you provide — player name, team, minute, offence type, and description. Copy it straight into the FA's system.

What happens to my data if I stop using it?

Your data stays intact as long as your account exists. We don't delete inactive accounts automatically.
