Why clubs switch

Why Clubs Are Leaving OpenCourt

Four reasons clubs switch from OpenCourt to Book & Go.

01

The 3% Growth Fee Is Eating Your Revenue

OpenCourt Growth ($199/mo) charges a 3% service fee on every transaction — paid by the player or absorbed by the club. At $100K annual revenue, that's $3,000/year. Book & Go charges 0% platform commission on all plans. You keep 100% of your court revenue (minus only your payment processor's standard rates).

02

Branded App Costs $100/mo + $600 Setup

On OpenCourt Growth/Pro, a branded app is an add-on: $100/mo recurring + $600 one-time setup. That's $1,800/year just to have your own app — or you use the shared OpenCourt app with all other clubs. 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.

03

To Get Both, You Need Elite at $749/mo

OpenCourt Elite ($749/mo annual, $899 monthly) includes the branded app and 0% service fee. But you're paying $550+/mo more than Growth for features that should be standard. Book & Go includes white-label app + 0% commission on all plans — no tier tax.

04

No Shared OpenCourt App — 100% Your Brand

OpenCourt players use the shared "OpenCourt" app alongside all other clubs. Even with the branded app add-on, many players still discover your club through the OpenCourt marketplace. Book & Go gives you a standalone branded app with zero competitor visibility. Players download YOUR app, not ours.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from clubs leaving OpenCourt.

How to switch from OpenCourt →
Why are clubs leaving OpenCourt for Book & Go?
Two main reasons: (1) The 3% service fee on Growth eats into revenue, and avoiding it requires upgrading to Pro ($499/mo) or Elite ($749/mo). (2) A branded app costs $100/mo + $600 setup on Growth/Pro, or requires Elite to include it. Book & Go includes white-label app + 0% commission on all plans — no add-on fees, no tier tax.
How much does it cost to get a branded app + 0% fee on OpenCourt?
You need the Elite plan: $749/mo on annual billing ($8,988/year) or $899/mo on monthly ($10,788/year). This includes the branded app and 0% service fee. Alternatively, Pro at $499/mo gives 0% fee but the branded app is still $100/mo + $600 setup.
Can I avoid the 3% Growth fee without upgrading?
No. The 3% service fee is tied to the Growth plan ($199/mo). To eliminate it, you must upgrade to Pro ($499/mo), Elite ($749/mo), or Enterprise (custom). Or switch to Book & Go, which has 0% platform commission on all plans.
Does Book & Go charge for a branded app like OpenCourt ($100/mo + $600)?
No. Book & Go includes a native iOS/Android app under your club name on every plan. No add-on fee, no setup charge, no tier requirement. Your branded app is standard, not an upsell.
What if I'm on Growth and happy with the OpenCourt shared app?
If you don't need your own branded app and the 3% fee is acceptable for your revenue level, OpenCourt Growth is a solid option. Book & Go is the better choice if you want to eliminate the 3% fee, own your brand, and access a full club management stack without add-on fees.
How hard is it to migrate from OpenCourt to Book & Go?
We handle the entire migration: data transfer, app setup, branding, and onboarding. Most clubs go live about 4 weeks after kickoff. Your members can be invited to download your new branded app, and we support parallel running during the transition if needed.
