Why Clubs Leave Playtomic
The four biggest reasons sports clubs are switching to Book & Go.
The 4% Commission Bleeds Revenue
Playtomic takes 4% of every booking before payout, AND charges your players a separate "Service Fee" on card transactions. That's money leaving your ecosystem twice. If you do €100,000 in monthly bookings, you lose €4,000/mo (€48,000/year) to Playtomic. Book & Go has a flat subscription — zero commission, zero player fees.
You're One of Many in a Marketplace
On Playtomic, your club is a listing alongside competitors. Players search by location and see every club in the area — including your rivals. With Book & Go, you get a fully branded app published under YOUR name. Players download your app, never see competitors, and build loyalty with your brand.
Playtomic Owns Your Player Data
Players on Playtomic belong to the marketplace, not to you. You can't export data, can't run direct email campaigns, can't build a unified CRM across locations. With Book & Go, you own 100% of player data, emails, and booking history. Full control, no lock-in.
7-Day Payment Delays
Payments go through Playtomic before reaching you — with a 7-day payout cycle. Book & Go connects your own Stripe or Revolut account: instant payouts (1–2 days), lower processing fees, and complete financial control. Your money, in your account.
Where Playtomic is Stronger
- Massive Marketplace Network: 5,500+ clubs across 52 countries. If you're starting from zero and need player discovery, the Playtomic marketplace gives you instant visibility to a large player base searching for courts.
- European Padel & Tennis Presence: Playtomic is deeply embedded in Europe's padel and tennis communities. If your club relies on walk-in traffic from players already on Playtomic, the network effect is real.
- Zero Upfront Setup: Playtomic onboarding is fast. If you need bookings running today with minimal setup, the marketplace model is quick to launch.
