Why clubs switch

Why Clubs Leave Playtomic

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

01

The 4% Commission Bleeds Revenue

Playtomic takes 4% of every booking before payout, AND charges your players a separate "Service Fee" on card transactions. That's money leaving your ecosystem twice. If you do €100,000 in monthly bookings, you lose €4,000/mo (€48,000/year) to Playtomic. Book & Go has a flat subscription — zero commission, zero player fees.

02

You're One of Many in a Marketplace

On Playtomic, your club is a listing alongside competitors. Players search by location and see every club in the area — including your rivals. With Book & Go, you get a fully branded app published under YOUR name. Players download your app, never see competitors, and build loyalty with your brand.

03

Playtomic Owns Your Player Data

Players on Playtomic belong to the marketplace, not to you. 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

7-Day Payment Delays

Payments go through Playtomic before reaching you — with a 7-day payout cycle. Book & Go connects your own Stripe or Revolut account: instant payouts (1–2 days), lower processing fees, and complete financial control. Your money, in your account.

How to switch from Playtomic →
How much does Playtomic's 4% commission cost my club?
Playtomic charges 4% on every booking before payout. If your club does €100,000 in monthly bookings, you lose €4,000/mo (€48,000/year). Players also pay a separate "Service Fee" on card transactions. With Book & Go, your flat subscription has zero per-booking commission — all revenue stays with you.
Can I keep using Playtomic as a marketplace while using Book & Go?
Yes. Some clubs use Playtomic as a discovery channel while running core operations on Book & Go. However, most clubs find that once existing players have the branded app, they stop using Playtomic entirely. Evaluate whether the 4% marketplace fee is worth the incremental discovery traffic.
What happens to my player data if I leave Playtomic?
Player data on Playtomic belongs to the platform. With Book & Go, you own everything — player profiles, booking history, contact details, emails. If you ever switch away from Book & Go, your data comes with you. No lock-in.
Will I lose the marketplace demand if I leave Playtomic?
Yes, you will lose access to players searching on the Playtomic marketplace. However, the trade-off is: (1) no 4% commission on every booking, (2) your own branded app building long-term loyalty, (3) full control of player data and marketing. Most clubs find the economics favor independence once they establish their own brand.
Does Book & Go support the same sports as Playtomic?
Yes. Book & Go supports padel, tennis, pickleball, squash, badminton, and other racket sports. We also support fitness, wellness, and multi-sport facilities. If Playtomic works for your sport, Book & Go will too.
How long does migration from Playtomic to Book & Go take?
Most clubs are fully operational within 2–4 weeks. We handle app setup, branding, and data migration. Your existing customers can be imported and invited to download your new branded app. You can optionally keep a Playtomic listing running in parallel during the transition.
