Compliance and revenue sharing

Teamworks describes a compliance ledger, athlete self-disclosure, scheduled reports and rules that flag conflicts, plus General Manager for revenue-share budgets and Wallet for payouts.

Teamworks says the Influencer Exchange gives athletes a consolidated 1099 at the end of the year.

Choose Teamworks if your department already runs Teamworks, wants NIL compliance tracking, revenue-share budgeting and payouts from one vendor, and buys software for the whole department through a sales process.

When HDBND is the better fit

Choose HDBND if you want to grow athletes' deals, not only track them: brand matches graded on audience fit, a published pricing method, posting and outreach for every athlete, in your school's colors, at a published $5 per athlete per month.
