How much does a padel booking system cost?
It depends on scope. You can choose a fixed-price project or a monthly plan, both based on project size. Courts, venues, an app and integrations move the price; a short scoping call gets you a fixed quote. See pricing.
How much does it cost to build a padel club app?
A branded iOS and Android club app is quoted as a fixed-price project based on project size. For context, published 2026 cost guides put a custom padel app MVP at roughly $45,000–75,000 and a full build at $100,000–150,000 or more; white-label apps cost less upfront but are rented. See our padel app development cost guide.
What is the best padel club management software?
There is no single best option. SaaS products such as Playtomic Manager, MATCHi, Playbypoint and Book & Go cover the essentials for many clubs. A custom build wins when you want your own brand and app, full data ownership, workflows off-the-shelf tools don't handle, or no booking commission.
Is there an alternative to Playtomic for clubs, and can I keep my players if I leave?
Yes: white-label SaaS, your own platform, or a Playtomic listing for discovery alongside your own app. To keep players, invite them to your app before changing anything, import your member list where you can, and give regulars a reason to switch, such as member pricing. See our step-by-step guide to switching booking systems.
Does Playtomic charge a commission?
Playtomic confirms that it charges clubs a commission on bookings but does not publish the rate, and players pay a separate service fee that varies by country. Ask Playtomic for the figures in your market before comparing. A system built by Kodlify takes no commission. See our guide to Playtomic fees for clubs.
Can a custom booking system integrate with Playtomic, MATCHi, access control or court lights?
Yes, where those systems allow it. We connect access control and lighting so doors and courts follow your bookings, and can run your system alongside a marketplace listing. What a particular marketplace supports depends on its integrations, which we check during scoping.
Can the booking system run an unmanned or automated padel club?
Yes. Each booking can create an access code or QR pass valid only for its slot, switch the court lights and start the cameras. Payment is taken upfront and staff get alerts for anything unusual, so the club can open without a receptionist on site. See our guide to running an unmanned padel club.
Is it a real app or a mobile website, and will it be on the App Store and Google Play under my brand?
We build real iOS and Android apps, published under your club's name, icon and developer accounts on the App Store and Google Play. If a mobile website covers your needs, we'll say so and save you the cost. Apple and Google charge their own developer fees.
How long does it take to build a padel booking system or app?
Timelines depend on project size. Your exact timeline, broken into milestones, comes with the fixed quote. For a new club, we recommend starting the software 8–12 weeks before opening day.
Can it run Americano and Mexicano tournaments and leagues?
Yes. Americano and Mexicano are built in, with fair rotation, uneven player numbers, several courts and live scores players can share to WhatsApp groups. Leagues, ladders and rankings update after every match, and entries are booked and paid like any other session.
Do I own the source code and my player data?
Yes. Your player and booking data is always yours, held in your own database and exportable whenever you want it. On a fixed-price project, the source code becomes yours once the project is paid in full. There is no platform lock-in.
What software do I need to open a padel club?
At minimum: online court booking with payments, memberships and pricing rules, and a website. Most clubs add a branded app, coach booking, tournament tools and, for long hours, access control and lighting. Profitability depends on location, courts and running costs far more than software; take local advice. See our full padel club opening checklist.
