Why clubs switch

Why Clubs Leave ClubSpark

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

01

You're Using Clubspark Booker, Not Your Own App

Clubspark players download "Clubspark Booker" — a shared app used by all clubs. They see the Clubspark brand, not yours. Book & Go publishes a native iOS/Android app under YOUR club name on the App Store and Google Play. Players see only your brand, your logo, your colors — zero Clubspark visibility.

02

Transaction Fees Eat Into Your Revenue

Clubspark charges 0.8–1.4% + 5p on every transaction (on top of payment processor fees). If you do £50,000 in monthly bookings, that's up to £8,400/year in platform fees. Book & Go has zero per-booking commission — flat subscription only. All booking revenue stays with you.

03

Basic Plan Has Ads AND No Booking

Clubspark's £15/mo Basic plan includes advertising on your website and doesn't include court booking. You need Standard (£30/mo) just to get booking functionality. Book & Go includes booking, zero ads, and a white-label app on all plans — no gated features, no third-party promotions.

04

Not Built for Padel or Multi-Sport

Clubspark is UK tennis-first with LTA federation ties. If your club is padel-focused, multi-sport, or operates outside the UK, Clubspark lacks the flexibility you need. Book & Go was built padel-first with full support for leagues, open matches, ranked results, tournaments — plus tennis, pickleball, squash, and badminton across any market.

An honest take

Where ClubSpark is Stronger

Free for UK LTA-Affiliated Venues

If your club is LTA-registered in the UK and qualifies for free LTA Clubspark, the entry barrier is zero (subject to transaction fees). For small UK tennis clubs just getting started, this is a strong option.

LTA Play Discovery for UK Tennis

LTA Clubspark clubs benefit from the LTA Play directory, which drives player discovery for UK-based tennis players. If your revenue model depends on walk-in UK tennis traffic, this marketplace effect is valuable.

Lighting & Access Control on Premium

Clubspark Premium (£75/mo) includes SmartAccess for lighting and door control. If court access automation is a priority and you're comfortable with the UK tennis focus, Clubspark has built-in hardware integrations.

What exactly does a club get with Book & Go?

Each claim we make, with the detail behind it.

Your own branded app
Native iOS and Android apps on the App Store and Google Play, published under your club's name and developer account. Players book in your app, not in a marketplace next to other clubs.
0% commission
You pay a one-time setup fee and a flat monthly subscription. No per-booking commission, no player fees and no feature gates.
Payments go to your account
Online payments run through your club's own payment-gateway account (for example your own Stripe account), so money settles to the club. 19 gateways are already integrated, including Stripe, Airwallex, Xendit, Midtrans, Razorpay, Revolut, Worldpay.
Live in about 4 weeks
Typical clubs launch about 4 weeks after kickoff. A full switch from another system with a dual-run period usually takes 4–8 weeks.

Included in every plan

  • Your own iOS and Android app, published on the App Store and Google Play under your club's name and developer account
  • Booking for courts, classes, lessons and events, with real-time availability
  • Online payments through your own payment-gateway account, so money settles to you
  • Memberships, class packs, wallet credit, vouchers and loyalty points

FAQ

Switching from ClubSpark: FAQ

How to switch from ClubSpark →
Does Book & Go have a free tier like LTA Clubspark?
No. Book & Go is a subscription-based platform with no free tier. However, we have zero per-booking commission (vs 0.8–1.4%+ on Clubspark), no ads on any plan, and a white-label native app included from day one.
Can I use Clubspark if my club is outside the UK?
Clubspark commercial is available outside the UK, but it's built for UK tennis clubs and lacks multi-language or multi-currency support. If your club is in Europe, Latin America, Asia, or operates in multiple languages, Book & Go is purpose-built for global deployment.
Does Clubspark have a white-label native app like Book & Go?
No. Clubspark offers "Clubspark Booker" and "Clubspark Coaching" — these are Clubspark-branded shared apps used by all clubs. Players see the Clubspark brand, not yours. Book & Go publishes a native app under your club name on the App Store and Google Play.
What if I only need a basic website and don't need an app?
Clubspark's Basic plan (£15/mo) includes a website, CRM, and membership management — but NO booking module and includes ads. If you don't need court booking, it's a cheap option. Book & Go includes the full stack (booking, app, POS, leagues) — contact us if you only need specific modules.
Will I lose LTA Play discovery if I leave Clubspark?
Yes. LTA Play is a UK tennis federation directory exclusive to LTA Clubspark clubs. If your business model depends on UK tennis federation discovery, verify that trade-off. Book & Go focuses on your own branded app and owned customer base.
How long does migration from Clubspark to Book & Go take?
Most clubs are fully operational about 4 weeks after kickoff. We handle app setup, branding, and data migration. Your existing customers can be imported and invited to download your new branded app.
