MATCHi charges 4% on every booking (non-refundable even on cancellations), lists you next to competitors, and owns your player data. Book & Go gives you a branded app, zero commission, and full ownership.
The best MATCHi alternatives in 2026 are Book & Go, Playtomic, TPC Matchpoint and CourtReserve. Pick Book & Go if you want your own branded app with zero booking commission instead of a marketplace listing. MATCHi charges a 4% service fee on every booking, and keeps it even when the player cancels. Stay on MATCHi if its player base brings you most of your bookings.
Pick your monthly booking revenue. MATCHi charges a 4% service fee on every court and activity booking.
At €50,000 in monthly bookings, you lose €2,000/mo (€24,000/year) to MATCHi. With Book & Go, all of it stays with you.
The four biggest reasons sports clubs are switching to Book & Go.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
