1

Transparent Public Pricing

BWhere we are strong

Where Book & Go Is Stronger

Four reasons clubs choose Book & Go over Play by Point.

Branded App Without the Premium Tax

Play by Point locks the white-label app behind their Premium plan ($599/mo annual + "No Playbypoint branding—only your club"). Book & Go includes a native iOS/Android app under your club name on every plan — no co-branding, no Premium tier required.

Padel-First Leagues & Open Matches

Play by Point lists pickleball, padel, tennis but does not publish open match or league features on their public site. Book & Go was built padel-first with leagues, tournaments, open matches, and ranked results natively — ready to engage your community.

Zero Booking Commission

Play by Point charges card processing fees (Essential 2.9%+$0.30; Advanced/Premium 2.7%+$0.15). Book & Go operates on a flat subscription with zero commission on bookings. Connect your own Stripe or Revolut — all revenue goes directly to you.

Multi-Country, Multi-Language, Multi-Currency

Play by Point does not publish multi-language or multi-currency capabilities on their public pricing or solutions pages. Book & Go supports multi-language interfaces, multi-currency payments, and has clubs operating across Europe, Americas, Asia, and the Pacific.
