Why clubs switch from Playtomic

Why Clubs Switch from Playtomic

The four biggest reasons sports clubs are making the move.

Your club
Your Padel Club

Your Brand, Not Theirs

Own Your Customer Data

On Playtomic, the platform owns the relationship with your players. You can't export, can't market directly, can't build loyalty programs. With Book & Go, you have full access to every player, every booking, every preference — across all locations in one unified database.

Unlockedplayers.csvYour customers come with you

No Platform Lock-In

Playtomic controls the rules. If their algorithm changes, fees increase, or they prioritize bigger clubs — you have no recourse. Book & Go gives you independence: your own payment gateway, your own data, your own app. If you ever leave, your customers come with you.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions from clubs considering the switch.

Still have questions?

Ask us in a demo →
How long does it take to switch from Playtomic to Book & Go?
Most clubs are fully operational within 2–4 weeks. We handle the app setup, branding, and data migration. Your existing customers can be imported and invited to download your new branded app.
Can I keep using Playtomic as a marketplace while using Book & Go?
Yes. Some clubs use Playtomic as a discovery channel while running their core operations on Book & Go. However, most clubs find that once players have their branded app, they stop using Playtomic entirely.
What payment gateways does Book & Go support?
We support Stripe, Revolut, Razorpay, Xendit, Midtrans, Airwallex, and more. You connect YOUR own account — meaning direct payouts, lower fees, and full control over your money.
Is the 4% Playtomic commission charged to the club or the player?
Playtomic pricing and fee structure is not published on their public website. Contact Playtomic directly to verify commission rates, player service fees, and subscription pricing for your specific situation.
What happens to my customer data if I leave Playtomic?
With Playtomic, customer data belongs to the platform. With Book & Go, you own everything — player profiles, booking history, contact details. If you ever switch away from Book & Go, your data comes with you.
Do you offer multi-location support?
Yes. Unlike Playtomic where each location has a separate database, Book & Go gives you one unified customer base across all your venues. Run cross-location promotions, shared memberships, and consolidated reporting.
