Free for clubs, free for players
There is no pricing table on this page, because there is no price. The software is free: no subscription, no tier, no commission on your bookings, no setup fee. The only fees that exist are the ones Stripe charges if you choose to take card payments, and they don't come to us.
Why it is free
Free here isn't a launch promotion — it's the model. Here is what it rests on, and what it changes for your club.
01
Booking software isn't worth hundreds of euros a month
That is the going market rate, commissions on top. With us you get the same online slots, the same payments, the same public matches — with no budget line. That money buys a new net, LED lighting or a coaching hour for your regulars.
02
Free today, free tomorrow
No trial that expires, no tier to cross, no price rise to renegotiate in six months. The core — booking, split payment, public matches, levels, front desk, dashboard — stays free. If we build revenue later it will be alongside, never by cutting off what you already use.
03
More clubs, more players, more matches
Every club that opens its slots brings its players into the network, and those players then book wherever they travel — at your club as much as anywhere. Our interest is in courts being played on, not in you paying to open them.
What a commission really costs you
We take nothing — no subscription, no percentage: your turnover comes back to you in full. To size the gap, compare with a commission model over three typical months: winter lull, average month, peak season.
Zero, all year roundThe amount does not change if you open one more court, if your season takes off, or if you add a second club. There is nothing to renegotiate, ever.
The rates above are calculation assumptions, not the prices of any named vendor. Adjust them to the rate that applies to you to get your real gap.
What the others only say in a sales call
Four competing solutions — two international platforms and two French vendors — compared only on what each publishes on its own site. Apart from ours, none of these prices is public.

Surveyed on 31 July 2026 on the public websites of four padel club booking software vendors. “Not published” means the information is not available without a sales call, not that it is unfavourable. Our guide to choosing.

About it being free
It's free: where's the catch?+
There isn't one, and we have nothing to sell you on top. No commission on your bookings, no reselling of your players' data, and your payments land in your own Stripe account — we never even see them go by. Our interest is in clubs using the software, not in them paying.
Will you start charging one day?+
Not for the core: what you use today will stay free, with no retroactive change possible. If we look for revenue later it will be alongside — partnerships, sponsors, donations, services around the product — and clubs already on board will be told well in advance.
Is there a limit on courts, bookings or players?+
None. A two-court club and a twelve-court complex get exactly the same product, at the same price: zero. The player account is free too, with no booking limit.
Do I need a bank account to start?+
No. By default your players book online and pay at the desk, as they already do. You only connect a Stripe account the day you want to take card payments, and you pick that day. How to connect your Stripe account
What about Stripe's card fees?+
They only exist if you enable online payment, they are charged by Stripe on each payment, and we add no margin on top. The amount depends on your account country and the card type: for a standard European card, expect around €0.25 + 1.4% per transaction, but only Stripe's official pricing is authoritative. Players paying from their prepaid balance only generate fees when they top up.
How do players pay for a booking?+
Everyone pays their share: at the club desk, or by card and from their prepaid balance if the club has enabled online payment. In that case the card is authorised at booking and charged a few hours before the match, at the delay set by the club. Every payment scenario for a booking
What if youarepadel shuts down?+
Your club keeps its players and its history: ask us for an export of your data and we send it. Free software must not be a hostage situation — you leave whenever you want, with no notice period and nothing to cancel.
