What is a good Playtomic alternative for padel clubs?

A good alternative is your own branded booking and CRM platform that handles direct reservations, memberships and operations — while you optionally keep Playtomic for discovery. Padel Loop builds these bespoke systems for UK padel centres.

How much commission does Playtomic charge?

It depends on your agreement with the platform — fees are typically charged on bookings that go through their marketplace. Many UK centres still add a direct booking channel so repeat players book with them, not only through the app.

Playtomic alternative: own your bookings and stop paying commission

Playtomic is the app many UK players already have. For centre owners, the question is not always "replace everything overnight" — it is how to stop leaking margin and data on every booking forever.

The real cost of marketplace fees

If a meaningful share of court time is sold through a marketplace, platform fees and fixed charges add up over the year — money that could otherwise fund staff, courts or your own technology.

What you do not own on a marketplace

The player relationship and remarketing
Full CRM, segments and win-back campaigns
Brand experience end-to-end
Flexibility on pricing rules, packages and B2B accounts

A practical hybrid model

Many operators keep marketplace presence for new players while moving members and repeat bookers to a direct, branded checkout. Over time, direct share grows and commission exposure falls.
