Padel Software Pricing 2026: A Transparent Cost Guide

Padel software pricing is one of the least discussed and most asked-about topics in the industry. 'Contact us for pricing' is common in B2B software; this post breaks the comparison into its parts: subscription, commission, hidden fees and the cost of growth.

Why does transparency matter? Hiding prices destroys trust in B2B: a relationship that starts with 'contact us for pricing' continues with negotiation, and trust dies when hidden line items appear later. Explaining the pricing model openly — which line is fixed, which one depends on bookings, and which fees are charged separately — shortens the decision cycle and prevents surprise invoices.

To compare prices properly you have to separate three lines:

• Subscription — a fixed monthly or annual fee that grows with locations and users
• Commission — a share taken only on bookings that arrive through the platform
• Hidden fees — setup, branding, a mobile add-on, support and extra licences

In a subscription model the price has to be read together with the tiers: a growing club moves up a plan and the invoice grows with every location. The questions to ask are: what does that fee cover, are there location or user limits, and is commission taken on top?

CourtON removes the subscription line entirely: the software is free and unlimited (locations, courts, users, bookings), with no charge for setup, support or updates. Revenue comes only from commission on bookings that arrive through CourtON — the rate is written in your contract and varies by club. No commission is due on bookings your staff enter in the panel or on 'pay at the venue' bookings, so there is no surprise billing. That distinction is the first thing to look for on an invoice: commission covers bookings the platform brings the club, not bookings the club creates on its own.

International tools paint a different picture: Playtomic charges €24-274/month (Standard to Master), CourtReserve $159-549/month plus roughly $499 setup for its mobile add-on. All bill in EUR/USD — currency risk for a Turkish club.

Summary comparison:

• Playtomic: €24-274/month, EUR billing, no white-label
• CourtReserve: $159-549/month, USD billing, mobile add-on ~$499 extra
• CourtON: no subscription fee — TRY billing, iyzico + EFT payments, unlimited locations, revenue only from commission on bookings that arrive through CourtON

Put those bands in local terms: €24-274 and $159-549 mean direct currency risk for a club earning in TRY — when the rate rises, the fixed cost rises with it. CourtON has no fixed line at all: no monthly invoice arrives, so no currency risk is created.

There is also an opportunity cost: a club without software spends staff hours on booking tracking and payment collection. Those hours are tracking work, not revenue work — as the club grows, the staffing burden outgrows the software cost.

Beyond the monthly fee, ask:

• Is billing in EUR/USD?
• Is there an extra license fee per location?
• Is there a setup or branding fee?
• Are payment commissions taken on top?
• Are support and updates included?
• Is there a contract commitment?

Consider a 3-location operator: a per-location pricing model triples the cost; CourtON has no location limit and no licence line to multiply. The advantage grows as you grow: at five locations an international system wants five licences, while CourtON adds no new fixed cost. Running the comparison over twelve months of total cost shows how line items that look small at first grow by year end.

The last question in any pricing comparison is: what makes the fee go up? In a subscription model the fee is tied to infrastructure (servers, storage, payment integration), support and continuous development, and it grows with every location; in a commission model there is no fixed line — the club pays a share only on bookings the platform actually brings it. What is reasonable for a Turkish club is local purchasing power, not an international EUR band.

Frequently asked questions:

• What is the difference between subscription and commission? With a subscription you pay a fixed invoice that scales with locations and users; with commission there is no fixed invoice at all — you pay a share only on bookings that arrive through CourtON.
• Is there a monthly fee? No; the software is free, and commission applies only to bookings that arrive through CourtON.
• Are there hidden fees? No — setup, support and updates are not charged separately.
• Is there a commitment? There is no software subscription commitment; the commission rate is written in your contract.

Explaining our model openly is not marketing for us — it is how we work: no fixed fee, no hidden line items, and commission only on bookings the platform brings. Trust in B2B starts there; when the comparison is clear, decisions get faster.
