MHonest assessment

Where MATCHi Is Stronger

Honest assessment: three areas where the MATCHi marketplace has a competitive edge.

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

BWhere we are strong

Where Book & Go Is Stronger

Four reasons clubs choose Book & Go over the MATCHi marketplace.

Your Own Branded App — Not a Marketplace Listing

MATCHi is a shared player app where your club is one listing among many. Book & Go gives you a native iOS/Android app published under your club name. Players download YOUR app, never see competitors, and build loyalty to your brand.

Zero Commission — No 4% Service Fee

MATCHi charges a 4% service fee on every court and activity booking, non-refundable even if the player cancels. Book & Go has a flat subscription with zero per-booking commissions. Your revenue stays with you.

Club Owns Player Data & CRM

On MATCHi, players belong to the marketplace. You cannot export, cannot run direct email campaigns, cannot build a unified CRM across locations. With Book & Go, you own the player data, emails, booking history — full control.

Worldwide Deployment — Not Limited to 8 Markets

MATCHi operates in 8 countries (Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Netherlands, Norway, Romania, Sweden, Thailand). Book & Go supports multi-language, multi-currency deployment worldwide. If your club is outside the MATCHi footprint, Book & Go is the global solution.

Is this page comparing MATCHi to Book & Go, or TPC Matchpoint to Book & Go?
This page compares the MATCHi marketplace (the player app where clubs are listed) to Book & Go. TPC Matchpoint is a separate product — MATCHi's club management software that DOES sell a branded app. If you are comparing TPC Matchpoint (the club software), see our TPC Matchpoint comparison page.
Does MATCHi offer a white-label or branded app for clubs?
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 are evaluating Matchpoint, see the TPC Matchpoint comparison page.
Can I use MATCHi if my club is outside Europe?
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.
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 is worth the discovery traffic.

Get your own branded app, eliminate the 4% service fee, and own your player data. See how Book & Go compares.
