OCHonest assessment

Where OpenCourt Is Stronger

Honest assessment: three areas where OpenCourt has a competitive edge.

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

BWhere we are strong

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.

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.

What is OpenCourt's 3% service fee on Growth, and who pays it?
On the Growth plan ($199/mo annual, $249 monthly), OpenCourt charges a 3% service fee on transactions. This fee is separate from Stripe/payment processing. It can be passed to the player or absorbed by the club. Pro, Elite, and Enterprise plans have 0% service fee.
How much does a branded app cost on OpenCourt?
On Growth and Pro plans, a branded mobile app is an add-on: $100/mo recurring + $600 one-time setup fee. On Elite ($749/mo annual) and Enterprise, the branded app is included. Book & Go includes the white-label app on all plans at no additional cost.
Does Book & Go publish pricing like OpenCourt?
No. OpenCourt publishes plan tiers on getopencourt.com/pricing. Book & Go uses a quote-based model. Our pricing is subscription-based with zero per-booking platform commission — contact us for a custom quote.
Can I use OpenCourt if my club is outside the United States?
OpenCourt is primarily US-focused with an English-only interface. If your club is in Europe, Latin America, Asia, or operates in multiple languages and currencies, Book & Go is built for global deployment.
Does OpenCourt have video replay and access control like Book & Go?
Yes. OpenCourt includes door access control and video replay on all plans. Book & Go has access control integrations available; video replay availability is not currently published. If these hardware features are critical, verify availability with Book & Go before switching.
What if I'm on OpenCourt Growth and the 3% fee is eating my revenue?
You have three options: (1) Upgrade to Pro ($499/mo) or Elite ($749/mo) to eliminate the 3% fee; (2) Pass the fee to players (creates friction); (3) Switch to Book & Go, which has 0% platform commission on all plans. See our OpenCourt Alternative page for a switching guide.

Ready to Escape the 3% Growth Fee?

No $100/mo branded app add-on. No $600 setup fee. No 3% service fee. Just a native iOS/Android app under your club name — included from day one.
