Why clubs switch

Why Clubs Leave MATCHi

The four biggest reasons sports clubs are switching to Book & Go.

01

The 4% Service Fee is Non-Refundable

MATCHi charges a 4% service fee on every court and activity booking — and here's the kicker: the fee is non-refundable even if the player cancels. So you lose revenue on bookings that never happen. Book & Go has a flat subscription with zero per-booking commissions. All revenue stays with you.

02

Your Club is One Listing Among Many

MATCHi is a shared player app where your club is one listing alongside competitors. Players see every club in the area — including your rivals. With Book & Go, you get a native iOS/Android app published under YOUR club name. Players download your app, never see competitors, and build loyalty with your brand.

03

Players Belong to MATCHi, Not You

On the MATCHi marketplace, players are part of the MATCHi ecosystem. You can't export data, can't run direct email campaigns, can't build a unified CRM across locations. With Book & Go, you own 100% of player data, emails, and booking history — full control, no lock-in.

04

Limited to 8 Nordic/European Markets

MATCHi operates in Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Netherlands, Norway, Romania, Sweden, and Thailand. If your club is outside these markets — or if you plan to expand internationally — you need a global solution. Book & Go supports multi-language, multi-currency deployment worldwide.

An honest take

Where MATCHi is Stronger

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.

How to switch from MATCHi →
What is MATCHi's 4% service fee and why is it non-refundable?
MATCHi charges a 4% service fee on every court and activity booking (with a minimum and maximum per market). The service fee is non-refundable even if the booking is cancelled — so clubs lose revenue on bookings that never happen. Book & Go has zero per-booking commissions — your flat subscription covers everything.
Is this page comparing MATCHi or TPC Matchpoint?
This page compares the MATCHi marketplace (the player app where clubs are listed). TPC Matchpoint is a separate product — MATCHi's club management software that DOES sell a branded app. If you are evaluating Matchpoint (the club software), see our TPC Matchpoint comparison page.
Does MATCHi offer a white-label or branded app?
MATCHi the marketplace does not. Players book through the shared MATCHi app. However, MATCHi also owns TPC Matchpoint, a club management product that sells branded iOS/Android apps, a coach app, and branded intranet. If you want a branded app from the MATCHi ecosystem, Matchpoint is the product to evaluate.
Can I use MATCHi if my club is outside the Nordic countries?
MATCHi operates in Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Netherlands, Norway, Romania, Sweden, and Thailand. If your club is outside these markets, Book & Go offers worldwide deployment with multi-language and multi-currency support.
What happens to my player data if I leave MATCHi?
Players on the MATCHi marketplace are part of the MATCHi ecosystem. With Book & Go, you own 100% of player data, emails, and booking history. If you ever switch platforms, your data comes with you. No lock-in.
Can I use both MATCHi and Book & Go at the same time?
Some clubs keep a MATCHi listing for player discovery while running core operations on Book & Go. However, most clubs find that once existing players have the branded app, they stop using the MATCHi marketplace. Evaluate whether the 4% marketplace fee (non-refundable on cancellations) is worth the discovery traffic.
