Pickleball & Racquet Court Booking SoftwareThe court-booking software pickleball actually deserves.
Court reservations, league management, open-play check-in, digital guest passes — built from day one for racquet clubs, not retrofitted from a gym product.
- $0/mo + just 0.5%* per booking — or $199/mo flat. Either way: cheaper than CourtReserve.
- Free migration from CourtReserve
- League brackets + open play built in
The AI books your court.
With your guests on the roster.
Click a prompt. The concierge previews the booking — with peak pricing and any active last-minute deal — and waits for your okay.
The complaints we keep getting.
And what we do about them.
Features your operators care about.
The things we shipped specifically because pickleball + racquet clubs told us they were missing.
Court reservation
Member picks a court and a 60- or 90-minute slot. Capacity per court (4 for pickleball, 2 for tennis). Auto-released no-shows. Member-side waitlist.
League + bracket management
Round-robins, double-elimination, ladders. Generates schedules, books the courts automatically, scoring + standings live in the same app.
Open play sessions
Drop-in pickleball with skill brackets (2.0/2.5/3.0/3.5/4.0+). Members sign in, paddle queue rotates, four-up four-down on the screens.
Digital guest passes
Member taps "send a guest pass," enters a phone number, guest gets a one-time QR via SMS. Expires after one visit. Front desk scans it like a member.
Member + visitor check-in
Rolling QR for members. SMS-delivered QR for guests. Per-court check-in if you want to track utilization.
AI concierge that BOOKS courts
Not just an FAQ — a tool-using assistant that finds open courts, books them, adds guests, moves the time, and cancels. "Book me pickleball Saturday at 9 for doubles with two guests" → preview → "yes" → done. Same flow our golf AI uses to move tee times.
Peak pricing on courts
Evening prime +30%. Weekend mornings +25%. Midday weekdays -20%. Pricing rules sit on the court — drag the window, set the multiplier, save. Guest fees ride the same engine so your $15 weekday guest becomes $19.50 on Saturday morning automatically.
Auto last-minute deals
Court 3 still open at 7pm tonight? Cinch automatically drops it 10% within 24 hours, 25% within 12, 40% within 4. The same yield-management engine we run on golf tee times. Members ask the AI "any court deals tonight?" and book in three taps.
Why we’re a tenth of the price
of the incumbents.
Cinch’s monthly base is the floor. We make most of our money on a small percentage of bookings — which means we’re only winning when you’re winning.
Pay-as-you-go is $0/mo + 0.5% per court reservation, guest fee, or league entry. All-Inclusive is $199/mo flat with zero transaction fees — cheaper than CourtReserve's $199/mo, with AI booking, peak pricing, and last-minute deals they don't ship.
Pickleball is growing 50% a year. Your software shouldn't be the bottleneck.
Apples-to-apples on starting price + what you actually get for it.
| Vendor | Starts at | What you hear |
|---|---|---|
| Cinch | $0/mo + 0.5% | AI concierge, family memberships, modern app — pay-as-you-go or $199/mo flat. Either way, way under the incumbents. |
| CourtReserve | $199/mo | Default choice but dated UX. Members complain. No real AI. No native-feeling app. |
| PicklePlay | $199/mo | Discovery-leaning, weaker on the operator side (memberships, billing). |
| ClubAutomation / Jonas | $500–2,000/mo | Built for traditional country clubs. Heavy. Slow. Wildly expensive for a pickleball-first facility. |
| Playtomic | varies | Marketplace-first (great for finding partners), not a full operator platform. |
Same pricing.
