Where ClubSpark Is Stronger
Honest assessment: three areas where ClubSpark has a competitive edge.
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.
Where Book & Go Is Stronger
Four reasons clubs choose Book & Go over ClubSpark.
White-Label Native App, Not Clubspark Booker
Clubspark players use the shared "Clubspark Booker" app alongside all other clubs. Book & Go gives you a native iOS/Android app published under YOUR club name on the App Store and Google Play — no shared ecosystem, 100% your brand.
No Ads on Any Plan
Clubspark's Basic (£15/mo) plan includes advertising. Book & Go is ad-free on all tiers — your players see only your club's branding, not third-party promotions.
Padel-First, Multi-Sport Stack
Clubspark is tennis-focused with UK LTA ties. 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.
Not UK-Only, Not Federation-Tied
Clubspark's LTA product is UK-centric and requires federation affiliation. The commercial product still targets UK tennis. Book & Go operates globally with multi-language, multi-currency, and full independence from any tennis association.
