Question 1

Why is Play by Point's branded app so expensive?

Accepted Answer

Play by Point's white-label app is exclusive to their Premium plan at $599/mo monthly or $499/mo on annual contract. Essential ($199) and Advanced ($399) do not include a branded app. If you want your own iOS/Android app under your club name, you must upgrade to Premium. Book & Go includes the white-label app on all plans.

Question 2

Does Book & Go charge per-booking fees like Play by Point?

Accepted Answer

No. Play by Point charges card processing fees: Essential 2.9%+$0.30, Advanced/Premium 2.7%+$0.15. Book & Go operates on a flat subscription with zero booking commissions. Connect your own Stripe or Revolut gateway — all revenue goes directly to you.

Question 3

Can I get leagues and tournaments without upgrading to Premium?

Accepted Answer

Play by Point does not publish league or tournament features on their pricing page, so it's unclear if they're available on lower tiers. Book & Go includes full league and tournament management on all plans — brackets, pools, scheduling, and automated notifications.

Question 4

What if I only need basic booking and POS?

Accepted Answer

If you don't need a branded app and only need reservations, POS, and payments, Play by Point Essential at $199/mo ($159 annual) is a solid entry tier. Book & Go requires a quote. The advantage with Book & Go is the white-label app included from day one if you decide you want it.

Question 5

Can I migrate my data from Play by Point to Book & Go?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our onboarding team manages the complete migration: member data, court configurations, booking history, and membership plans. Most clubs are live within 2-3 weeks with a seamless transition experience.

Question 6

Does Book & Go work outside the United States?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Book & Go supports multi-language interfaces, multi-currency payments, and has clubs operating across Europe, Americas, Asia, and the Pacific. Play by Point does not publish multi-language or multi-currency capabilities on their site.
