Why clubs switch

Why Sports Clubs Leave Pike13

The four biggest reasons sports clubs are switching from Pike13 to Book & Go.

01

Pike13 Was Built for Lesson Scheduling, Not Courts

You are forcing your sports club into lesson scheduling software. Pike13 was designed for swim schools, martial arts, tennis lessons, and fitness studios. Court-based sports need court scheduling, tournament management, player rankings, and open-match coordination — features Pike13 does not offer. Book & Go was purpose-built for racket clubs and multi-sport facilities.

02

No True White-Label Branded App Included

Pike13 offers a Pike13-branded client app on Essential and Advanced plans. Custom branded apps are only available on the Premium plan ($249/mo annually) or as an add-on with a one-time setup fee. Sports clubs need a fully branded white-label app published under the club's own name on the App Store and Google Play. Book & Go includes a true white-label app on all plans with no extra charge — your club's name, your club's brand, your developer account.

03

No Tournament or Competition Features

Pike13 has zero tournament management, brackets, or player ranking features. Skill tracking is available on the Premium plan but is not a tournament or ranking system. These features are core for sports clubs but irrelevant for lesson-based businesses. Book & Go includes full tournament and league management with automated draws, brackets, pool play, and player rankings — all included.

04

Lesson Scheduling, Not Court Operations

Pike13 is optimized for lesson scheduling with features like recurring classes, private appointments, family dependent management, and skill tracking. Sports clubs need court-specific booking, tournament systems, player matching, and competitive sports management. Book & Go handles court surfaces, time-slot booking, tournament brackets, and player rankings — features Pike13 simply does not offer.

How to switch from Pike13 →
Why is Pike13 a bad fit for racket sports clubs?
Pike13 was built for lesson-based businesses offering recurring classes and private appointments. It uses class scheduling that does not translate well to court operations. It lacks court-specific features like court booking, tournament management, player rankings, and open-match coordination. Sports clubs need software purpose-built for courts, not lesson scheduling.
Can Book & Go replace Pike13 for a multi-sport facility?
Yes. Book & Go supports 10+ sports (padel, tennis, pickleball, squash, badminton, football, basketball) and handles both court-based and class-based bookings. If your facility has courts, fitness classes, and a pro shop, Book & Go manages all of it from a single platform — including POS, memberships, and tournaments.
Is Book & Go cheaper than Pike13?
Pike13 pricing is published: Essential $139/mo annually, Advanced $195/mo annually, Premium $249/mo annually. Book & Go offers quote-based pricing with flat subscription that includes white-label app, POS, tournament management, analytics, and dedicated account support. Contact us for a quote.
How long does migration from Pike13 to Book & Go take?
Most clubs complete the migration in about 4 weeks. Our onboarding team handles everything: member data migration, court configuration, payment setup, and app design. We ensure zero downtime for your members during the transition.
What happens to my member data if I leave Pike13?
Pike13 allows data export. Your onboarding specialist can coordinate with Pike13 support to export member data, class schedules, and booking history. With Book & Go, you own 100% of player data, emails, and booking history from day one. If you ever switch away from Book & Go, your data comes with you. No lock-in.
Does Pike13 have court-specific features?
No. Pike13 was designed for lesson-based businesses with class and appointment scheduling. It does not have court-specific features like court surface management, time-slot booking, tournament brackets, or player rankings that sports clubs need.
