Cómo se compara Courtlines
Comparaciones justas, basadas en lo que cada plataforma anuncia públicamente.
There isn't one "best" court booking software for every club — the right answer depends on whether you're running a small single-court operation, a multi-court facility with layered membership tiers, or a growing club that wants AI-driven insight into its own numbers. This roundup covers five established or well-known platforms in this category — PlayByPoint, CourtReserve, OpenCourt, YourCourts, and Skedda — alongside Courtlines, with a fair, neutral read on what kind of club each tends to suit.
We're not going to declare an outright winner, because that's not an honest way to shop for club software. Instead, each section below ends with who that platform tends to fit best, so you can match your club's actual priorities to the right choice.

How to evaluate court booking software
Before comparing vendors by name, it's worth being specific about what you actually need the software to do, since these platforms range from narrow scheduling tools to full club operating systems.
- Real-time court booking with peak/off-peak pricing and instant-book with card on file
- Waitlists that automatically fill cancelled slots
- Membership tiers, family accounts, digital waivers, and dunning for failed payments
- Programs and events with skill-bracketed registration for leagues, clinics, and tournaments
- Point of sale for pro shop and café on the same ledger as bookings
- Whether the platform gives you forward-looking guidance on your numbers, or just reports what already happened
PlayByPoint
PlayByPoint is known in the racket-sports space as a booking platform built around court scheduling and league play. It tends to suit clubs whose primary need is getting court reservations and league logistics running smoothly, and that are comfortable managing memberships, POS, and marketing through separate tools.
If pure court and league scheduling is your top priority and you don't need the rest bundled in, PlayByPoint is worth evaluating directly with their team for current pricing and features.
CourtReserve
CourtReserve is an established, broad club-management platform used by many tennis, pickleball, and multi-sport clubs, including larger multi-court facilities with layered programming. It tends to suit clubs that want a mature, wide-ranging feature set covering bookings, memberships, and events in one system and value a platform that's been serving this category for a while.
CourtReserve publishes its prices: Launch at $199 a month with 8 courts, Advance at $369 with 16 and Momentum at $549 with 32, or $159, $329 and $499 a month billed annually, with custom pricing above that (courtreserve.com/pricing, read 28 October 2026). Its homepage cites 2,300+ clubs. If breadth of established features and a longer track record matter most, it is worth a direct look; confirm contract terms and card processing rates in writing.
- Best fit: larger or multi-court facilities that want an established, broad feature set in one system
- Worth confirming directly: contract terms and processing rates, which the pricing page does not state
OpenCourt
OpenCourt is a court-booking platform in the racket-sports space, generally suited to clubs focused on reliable court scheduling as their core need. Clubs comfortable running memberships and POS through other tools tend to find a focused platform like this workable.
If your club's needs are primarily booking-centric, OpenCourt is worth evaluating directly for current features and pricing.
YourCourts
YourCourts is a cloud-based court reservation platform for clubs, HOAs, private and public facilities and parks, with clinics, open play, ladders and leagues, online payments and more than 100 configurable booking rules listed on its site. It is also one of the lowest-priced published options: five plans from $25 a month for up to 2 courts to $102 a month for up to 20, with a 30-day free trial (yourcourts.com/pricing.html, read 28 October 2026).
If you want an affordable reservation system with rules and programs, and you run any pro shop or café sales elsewhere, YourCourts is worth a close look.
Skedda
Skedda is a general-purpose space and room booking tool used across many industries — coworking spaces, studios, meeting rooms — not a racket-sport-specific platform. Its US plans start at $249 a month for 35 spaces, billed annually, with no free plan. A separate Skedda product, AllBooked, is aimed at sports, studios and community booking and lists membership management and payments on a quote basis; pro-shop POS is not listed.
If your club genuinely only needs a flexible, generic calendar for reserving courts and nothing else, Skedda's breadth across industries can be an advantage. If you're managing memberships or programs, expect to run separate tools alongside it.
- Best fit: clubs that need only a flexible, generic booking calendar and nothing racket-sport-specific
- Less suited to: clubs that want memberships, programs and a pro-shop POS on one ledger, since Skedda's core plans do not list them
Courtlines
Courtlines is a newer, smaller platform than the others on this list, built as an AI-native club operating system from the start rather than a booking calendar with features added over time. That shows up in a few specific, shipped capabilities not known to exist elsewhere in this category yet.
- A nightly AI business advisor that reads 30 days of revenue, fill-rate, and membership data and returns three ranked recommendations, each with a dollar estimate and confidence score
- An opt-in MCP connector for querying real club data from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client — read-only plus one safe write for inquiries
- One ledger across bookings, memberships, pro shop and café tabs
- Built-in lifecycle marketing automation for email and SMS
- White-label branding under the club's own name and domain, with Stripe handling payments under the hood
- Transparent pricing: Free up to 2 courts / 1 location, Club at $99/month per location, Enterprise custom for multi-location and white-label mobile
What these platforms cost
Three of the six vendors here publish full price lists, which makes a like-for-like comparison possible at a given club size. For an 8-court club on monthly billing, YourCourts lists $66 a month, Courtlines $99 per location and CourtReserve $199. At 16 courts the same three are $102, $99 and $369. Skedda starts at $249 a month for 35 spaces, billed annually. PlayByPoint's pricing page refused our automated read on 28 October 2026, and OpenCourt's site was unavailable when we checked, so neither is quoted.
List price is not total cost. Add card processing, any add-on modules, and the separate tools a narrower product leaves you to buy (a POS, an email platform), then compare the annual totals.
Which one fits your club
If a longer track record and the broadest established feature set matter most, CourtReserve is worth prioritizing. If court and league scheduling is your only real need, PlayByPoint, OpenCourt, or YourCourts are each worth a direct look. If you want maximum scheduling flexibility across non-racket use cases too, Skedda's generic model has that breadth. If what matters most is a modern, AI-native system that gives you proactive, dollar-quantified guidance on your own numbers, unifies bookings with memberships and POS, and lets you query your club's data through AI tools — features not known to exist elsewhere in this category yet — Courtlines is built specifically for that.
Pricing, features, and contract terms across every platform named here change over time. Confirm current details directly with each vendor before making a final decision — this roundup is a starting framework, not a substitute for that.
Preguntas que vale la pena hacer
What's the single best court booking software?+
There isn't one universal best — it depends on whether your priority is a long-established broad platform (CourtReserve), a focused booking-and-league tool (PlayByPoint, OpenCourt, YourCourts), maximum generic scheduling flexibility (Skedda), or an AI-native system that unifies bookings, memberships, and POS with proactive recommendations (Courtlines).
Is Courtlines a good fit for a small club just getting started?+
Yes — Courtlines is free for up to 2 courts and 1 location, which covers many small or new clubs, and it scales into the Club plan as you add courts, memberships, and programs without switching systems again.
Do any of these platforms include an AI business advisor?+
Courtlines' nightly AI business advisor, which reads 30 days of club data and returns three ranked, dollar-estimated recommendations, is a shipped feature not known to exist at any of the other platforms named in this roundup.
Will switching to a new booking platform disrupt my current members?+
With Courtlines specifically, no — onboarding imports your existing members, memberships, and booking history, runs both systems in parallel for about a week to validate the data, and cuts over on a quiet morning. Ask any platform you're evaluating what their specific migration process looks like before committing.
How much should I expect to pay for court booking software?+
At published list prices in October 2026, an 8-court club pays $66 a month on YourCourts, $99 per location on Courtlines and $199 on CourtReserve, before card processing. Courtlines is Free up to 2 courts / 1 location, $99/month per location on the Club plan, and custom Enterprise pricing for multi-location or white-label needs. PlayByPoint and OpenCourt prices were not available to quote; confirm current pricing with each vendor.
