Why clubs switch from Playtomic
Why Clubs Switch from Playtomic
The four biggest reasons sports clubs are making the move.
Your Brand, Not Theirs
With Playtomic, your club is one listing on their marketplace — right next to your competitors. With Book & Go, you get a fully branded app published under YOUR name. Players download your app, build loyalty with your brand, and never see a competitor.
Zero Commissions, Period
Book & Go has a flat subscription with zero commission and zero player fees. Every euro your courts earn stays with you. Playtomic pricing and commission structure should be verified directly with them.
Own Your Customer Data
On Playtomic, the platform owns the relationship with your players. You can't export, can't market directly, can't build loyalty programs. With Book & Go, you have full access to every player, every booking, every preference — across all locations in one unified database.
No Platform Lock-In
Playtomic controls the rules. If their algorithm changes, fees increase, or they prioritize bigger clubs — you have no recourse. Book & Go gives you independence: your own payment gateway, your own data, your own app. If you ever leave, your customers come with you.
What exactly does a club get with Book & Go?
Each claim we make, with the detail behind it.

- 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

- 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.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions from clubs considering the switch.
Still have questions?
How long does it take to switch from Playtomic to Book & Go?
Most clubs are fully operational about 4 weeks after kickoff. We handle the app setup, branding, and data migration. Your existing customers can be imported and invited to download your new branded app.
Can I keep using Playtomic as a marketplace while using Book & Go?
Yes. Some clubs use Playtomic as a discovery channel while running their core operations on Book & Go. However, most clubs find that once players have their branded app, they stop using Playtomic entirely.
What payment gateways does Book & Go support?
We support Stripe, Revolut, Razorpay, Xendit, Midtrans, Airwallex, and more. You connect YOUR own account — meaning direct payouts, lower fees, and full control over your money.
Is the 4% Playtomic commission charged to the club or the player?
Playtomic pricing and fee structure is not published on their public website. Contact Playtomic directly to verify commission rates, player service fees, and subscription pricing for your specific situation.
What happens to my customer data if I leave Playtomic?
With Playtomic, customer data belongs to the platform. With Book & Go, you own everything — player profiles, booking history, contact details. If you ever switch away from Book & Go, your data comes with you.
Do you offer multi-location support?
Yes. Unlike Playtomic where each location has a separate database, Book & Go gives you one unified customer base across all your venues. Run cross-location promotions, shared memberships, and consolidated reporting.
