The Commission Trap
Playtomic's 4% commission grows with your success. The more you earn, the more they take. Book & Go charges zero commission — your growth stays yours.
At €200K/month revenue, Playtomic takes
€8,000/month
That's €96,000/year going to a platform that also charges your players
Your Players Are Paying Extra
Playtomic charges a "Service Fee" on every card transaction — paid by YOUR customers, going to Playtomic.
Exactly the court price
No service fee. No surcharge. No hidden costs.
Your players pay what you set — nothing more.
Player surcharges drive bookings to phone & WhatsApp — more admin work, fewer digital bookings, less data.
With Book & Go, zero friction = more online bookings = better data.

Why Clubs Switch from Playtomic
The four biggest reasons sports clubs are making the move.
Your Brand, Not Theirs
With Playtomic, your club is one listing on their marketplace — right next to your competitors. With Book & Go, you get a fully branded app published under YOUR name. Players download your app, build loyalty with your brand, and never see a competitor.
Zero Commissions, Period
Playtomic takes 4% of every booking AND charges your players a service fee. That's money leaving your ecosystem twice. Book & Go has a flat subscription — zero commission, zero player fees. Every euro your courts earn stays with you.
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.
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.
