Where MATCHi Is Stronger
Honest assessment: three areas where the MATCHi marketplace has a competitive edge.
Strong Nordic/European Marketplace Network
MATCHi has an established player base across Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Netherlands, Norway, Romania, Sweden, and Thailand. If your club is in these markets, the MATCHi marketplace offers player discovery and cross-venue visibility.
Player Discovery & Marketplace Exposure
The shared MATCHi app gives clubs exposure to players searching for courts in their area. If your club is new or wants walk-in traffic from the MATCHi player base, the marketplace model provides discovery you would not get with a standalone app.
No Fee on Memberships or Subscriptions
MATCHi does not charge the 4% service fee on memberships, subscriptions, value cards, or punch cards. If your revenue model is membership-heavy rather than per-booking, the effective commission is lower.
Where Book & Go Is Stronger
Four reasons clubs choose Book & Go over the MATCHi marketplace.
Your Own Branded App — Not a Marketplace Listing
MATCHi is a shared player app where your club is one listing among many. Book & Go gives you a native iOS/Android app published under your club name. Players download YOUR app, never see competitors, and build loyalty to your brand.
Zero Commission — No 4% Service Fee
MATCHi charges a 4% service fee on every court and activity booking, non-refundable even if the player cancels. Book & Go has a flat subscription with zero per-booking commissions. Your revenue stays with you.
Club Owns Player Data & CRM
On MATCHi, players belong to the marketplace. You cannot export, cannot run direct email campaigns, cannot build a unified CRM across locations. With Book & Go, you own the player data, emails, booking history — full control.
Worldwide Deployment — Not Limited to 8 Markets
MATCHi operates in 8 countries (Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Netherlands, Norway, Romania, Sweden, Thailand). Book & Go supports multi-language, multi-currency deployment worldwide. If your club is outside the MATCHi footprint, Book & Go is the global solution.
