How long does it take to switch from Anolla to Book & Go?

Most clubs go live on Book & Go about 4 weeks after kickoff; a full switch from Anolla with a dual-run period usually takes 4–8 weeks. We handle data migration, native app setup, and training. The main change is moving from PWA to native App Store apps and from pay-per-booking to flat subscription.

Is This Guide for You?

Switching platforms is a significant decision. Here's when it makes sense — and when staying on Anolla may be better.

You Want a Real App Store Listing, Not a PWA

Anolla is a Progressive Web App (PWA) — accessed via browser with no App Store or Google Play listing. Players can't search for your club in the App Store. Book & Go gives you a native iOS/Android app published under your club name on both stores — stronger brand presence, better discovery, and a real app install experience.

You Need the Full Club Management Stack, Not Just Booking

Anolla is designed as a fast, mobile-first booking platform. Book & Go includes the full club management stack: POS for retail/pro shop, in-app leagues with ranked results, open matches, tournaments with brackets, vouchers, wallet, multi-location CRM, and advanced analytics. If you need more than bookings, you need Book & Go.

You Want Predictable Subscription Pricing, Not Usage-Based Costs

Anolla offers usage-based pricing (pricing details not publicly published). As your booking volume grows, so do your costs. Book & Go is subscription-based — flat monthly fee, no surprises, no per-booking charges. Better economics for clubs with consistent or high booking volume.

Native Apps Have Deeper OS Integration Than PWAs

PWA push notifications work only if the browser supports them and the user grants permission. Native apps (Book & Go) have richer push notifications, better offline data sync, and no browser dependency. Native apps are more reliable and deliver a better user experience.

An honest take

When Staying on Anolla May Be Better

You're a Small Club Testing the Market or Operating SeasonallyAnolla's usage-based pricing model (details not published) can be more flexible than a flat subscription if you're a small club testing the market or operating seasonally with variable booking volume. For established clubs with consistent traffic, Book & Go's subscription economics are better.
You Want Instant Launch Without App Store SubmissionAnolla is a PWA — players access it instantly via browser with no App Store download or review process. If you need to launch immediately without submitting to Apple/Google for review, a PWA is faster to deploy. Book & Go apps go through standard App Store/Play Store review (typically 1-2 weeks).
You Only Need Lightweight Booking, Not Back-Office FeaturesAnolla is mobile-first and lightweight. If your only requirement is fast, simple court booking and you don't need POS, leagues, tournaments, or multi-location CRM, Anolla's streamlined approach may be sufficient. Book & Go is built for clubs that need the full operational stack.

Bring your members along

Member Communication Plan

Clear, frequent communication is critical. Here's a proven 6-week campaign from first announcement to post-launch check-in.

Pro Tip: Use email, in-app push notifications, WhatsApp groups, and in-club posters. Redundant communication is good — many members only read the 3rd or 4th message.

Go-live day

Cutover Day Checklist

The day you flip the switch. Here's what needs to happen.

Rollback Plan: Keep Anolla credentials active for 7 days after cutover in case you need to revert. Most clubs never need it, but having the option reduces risk.

Cutover · Day 18 / 8 done
  • Final member data sync (any new signups during dual-run)
  • Activate payment processing on Book & Go (Stripe/Revolut under your account)
  • Staff briefed: all bookings now Book & Go only
  • Anolla booking engine paused or redirected to app download page
  • In-club signage updated (QR codes, app download posters)
  • Email + push notification sent: "We're live"
  • Monitor first-day transaction volume and support tickets
  • Backup plan: Anolla credentials kept active for 7 days in case of rollback
After launch

First 30 Days: What to Watch

The first month is critical. Here's what to monitor and optimize.

  • 01Daily monitoring: bookings, payments, occupancy, support tickets
  • 02Re-engagement campaign for members who haven't downloaded the app
  • 03Push notification cadence: weekly tips, promotions, new features
  • 04Review analytics: peak times, court utilization, no-show rates
  • 05Staff feedback session: what's working, what needs improvement
  • 06Assess member adoption rate of native app vs former PWA convenience
  • 07Plan first owned-marketing push (email campaign, loyalty program launch)

Success Metric: Day 30

from this guide

By day 30, you should see 80%+ of active members using the new app, occupancy levels matching or exceeding pre-switch rates, and positive feedback on push notifications and new features.

Where Anolla Still Wins

Honest assessment: the areas where Anolla's offering remains strong.

Instant launchNo App Store reviewBrowser access

Fast PWA, No App Store Wait

Anolla is a Progressive Web App (PWA) — players access it instantly via browser with no App Store download. For clubs that want to launch immediately without submitting to Apple/Google for review, a PWA is faster to deploy.

Potentially Flexible Pricing for Small Clubs

FAQ

Migration FAQ

Still deciding? See why clubs leave Anolla.

Why Switch from Anolla →
How long does the full migration take?
Most clubs complete the migration in 4-8 weeks from kickoff to cutover. The timeline includes setup, member onboarding, a dual-run period, and final cutover. Clubs with complex integrations or large member bases may need 8-12 weeks.
Can I run Anolla and Book & Go in parallel during the transition?
Yes. Many clubs run both systems for 2-4 weeks while members transition. During this period, freeze long-horizon bookings on Anolla (bookings beyond the cutover date) to avoid conflicts.
What happens to existing Anolla bookings?
All bookings made before cutover are honored. Book & Go imports upcoming reservations (next 30-60 days) so members see their existing bookings in the new app.
How do we migrate member wallet balances and credits?
Anolla may offer wallet features (details not published). Wallet balances cannot be automatically transferred. Options: (1) manually credit wallets in Book & Go based on Anolla export, or (2) allow members to spend down credits before cutover.
Do we need to notify Anolla before switching?
Review your Anolla contract for notice requirements (terms not publicly published). Some agreements have notice periods or early termination fees. Contact Anolla support to discuss your exit plan.
What if our members refuse to switch from the PWA?
Resistance is rare when migration is well-communicated. Key tactics: (1) early preview access for loyal members, (2) emphasize benefits (App Store listing, native app features, full club stack, predictable pricing), (3) in-club support during first week. Most clubs see 80%+ adoption within 2 weeks.
What is a PWA, and how does it compare to a native app?
A Progressive Web App (PWA) is a website that behaves like an app — you access it via browser and can "install" it by adding to your home screen. Anolla is a PWA. A native app (Book & Go) is downloaded from the App Store/Google Play and has deeper OS integration: richer push notifications, better offline support, and stronger brand presence through App Store listings.
Does Anolla have an App Store or Google Play listing?
No. Anolla is a PWA accessed via browser. Players can add it to their home screen, but it doesn't appear in App Store or Google Play search results. Book & Go publishes a native app under your club name on both stores.
What is Anolla's pricing model?
Anolla offers usage-based pricing (pricing details not publicly published). This is good for small or seasonal clubs. Book & Go is subscription-based with predictable monthly costs — better for clubs with consistent booking volume. Verify current Anolla pricing on anolla.com.
Is Anolla good for small clubs?
Yes. Anolla's usage-based model and fast PWA deployment make it a good fit for small clubs, seasonal operations, or clubs testing the market. If you need a full back-office stack (POS, leagues, tournaments, multi-location CRM), Book & Go is the better choice.
Does Book & Go charge per booking like some usage-based platforms?
No. Book & Go is subscription-based with 0% platform commission. You pay a flat monthly fee — no per-booking fees, no surprises as your volume grows.
Can I migrate from Anolla to Book & Go?
Yes. 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 native app from the App Store/Google Play.
