Where OpenCourt Is Stronger
Honest assessment: three areas where OpenCourt has a competitive edge.
Transparent Public Pricing
OpenCourt publishes plan pricing on getopencourt.com/pricing: Growth at $199/mo, Pro at $499/mo, Elite at $749/mo (lower on annual). Book & Go requires a quote. If you prefer to compare prices upfront before talking to sales, OpenCourt wins here.
Open Games + Leagues on All Plans
OpenCourt includes open games, waitlists, leagues (Swish), and tournament management on every plan from Growth up. These social features are built-in, not gated to higher tiers.
Access Control + Video Replay
OpenCourt includes door access control and video replay on all plans. If hardware integrations and court camera features are critical to your operations, OpenCourt has these built-in.
Where Book & Go Is Stronger
Four reasons clubs choose Book & Go over OpenCourt.
Branded App Without the $100/mo + $600 Setup Tax
OpenCourt charges $100/mo + $600 setup for a branded app on Growth/Pro, or requires Elite ($749/mo) to include it. Book & Go includes a native iOS/Android app under your club name on every plan — no add-on fee, no setup charge, no tier lock.
0% Platform Service Fee (No 3% Growth Fee)
OpenCourt charges a 3% service fee on Growth (paid by player or absorbed by club). Book & Go charges 0% platform commission on all plans — no per-booking fees, only your payment processor's standard rates.
No Shared OpenCourt App
OpenCourt players use the shared "OpenCourt" app alongside all other clubs. Book & Go gives you a 100% branded experience — no shared ecosystem, no competitor visibility, no OpenCourt branding.
Multi-Country, Multi-Language, Multi-Currency
OpenCourt is US-focused with English-only. Book & Go supports multi-language interfaces, multi-currency payments, and has clubs operating across Europe, Americas, Asia, and the Pacific.
