If you’ve been handed the MOJO app by your kid’s coach, you’ve probably noticed a banner nudging you toward “MOJO+” and wondered whether you’re about to get hit with a surprise bill just to see the practice schedule. The short version: you’re not. MOJO’s core team tools are genuinely free, and MOJO+ is a separate, optional add-on built for something different.
This guide breaks down exactly which features cost nothing, what MOJO+ actually unlocks, how much it costs, and how to decide whether it’s worth it for your family — without any guesswork.
Quick Answer
Yes — MOJO is free for coaches and teams to use for scheduling, rosters, team chat, and practice planning. MOJO+ is a separate, optional subscription (roughly $9.99 a month or $59.99 a year, with a free one-week trial) that adds at-home training games, premium player profiles, and unlimited media storage for families who want extra development content between practices.
What’s Free vs. What’s Behind MOJO+
The free side of MOJO is built around team logistics. Coaches can build a roster, schedule games and practices, message the whole team, and generate practice plans with built-in, age-appropriate drills — all without paying anything. These core tabs (Roster, Chat, Schedule, and practice planning) are what most leagues actually need MOJO for, which is also why organizations like US Youth Soccer have partnered with MOJO as a grassroots coaching resource.
MOJO+ lives mostly in the app’s Home tab and is aimed at families rather than coaches running a team. It unlocks a library of at-home training games developed with sport-specific partners: soccer content built with FC Barcelona’s youth academy, baseball and softball drills created with Major League Baseball, basketball activities developed with Jr. NBA, and flag football content from NFL FLAG. Subscribers also get premium player cards, shareable player profiles that work outside the app, and unlimited media archiving for photos and video pulled from livestreamed games — useful if your team streams games and you don’t want highlights to disappear.
Is MOJO+ Worth Paying For?
MOJO+ makes the most sense for families who want structured, expert-backed practice between official team sessions — think a kid who loves soccer and wants extra touches on the ball at home, or a multi-sport household that wants age-appropriate games for different kids without buying separate equipment or programs. The at-home games are designed to be low-prep, so a parent doesn’t need coaching experience to run them.
If you’re only using MOJO to check the practice schedule, read team messages, or see what drills the coach ran, you don’t need MOJO+ at all — those are the free features. It’s also worth comparing the monthly and annual pricing before committing: the annual plan works out cheaper per month, but the one-week free trial is the easiest way to see whether your kid actually engages with the at-home content before you pay for a full year.
Tips and Common Mistakes
Don’t assume you have to subscribe just to use MOJO with your team — coaches and parents can use scheduling, chat, and the practice plan a coach shares at zero cost. Before subscribing, confirm MOJO+ actually has content for your kid’s sport, since the library is organized by sport and a family with a basketball player cares about different content than a soccer family. Use the free trial first rather than jumping straight to the annual plan, since it’s the cheapest way to confirm the games hold your kid’s interest. Finally, cancel through your Apple App Store or Google Play subscription settings (not just by deleting the app), since app-based subscriptions keep billing until you cancel at the platform level.
