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.

We handle the entire migration: data transfer, app setup, branding, and onboarding. Most clubs go live within 2–4 weeks. Your members can be invited to download your new branded app, and we support parallel running during the transition if needed.
