Transfermarkt is research. ScoutHub is operations.
Every agent uses Transfermarkt to check market values, look up contract expiry dates, and research transfer history. But Transfermarkt is a public reference tool — it doesn't help you manage your own player portfolio, schedule trials, track transfer requests, or collaborate with your team. That's what ScoutHub is for.
Use both together
The typical workflow: check Transfermarkt for market values and player history, then manage everything operationally in ScoutHub. Use Transfermarkt as your reference library and ScoutHub as your workspace. Most professional agents use both daily.
