A simpler, cheaper alternative to Playbypoint
Playbypoint is a racquet-sports club management platform covering tennis, padel and pickleball, with integrations like PlaySight video and DUPR ratings. The most useful thing we can tell you about it is what it does not tell you: what it costs.
The short version. Playbypoint does not publish its pricing — independent comparisons report you have to book a demo call to get a quote, and figures cited by third parties conflict with each other. We are not going to print a number we cannot verify. CourtPilot publishes $49/mo and $99/mo, and you can start without talking to anyone.
What Playbypoint is good at
Any honest comparison starts here, because for a lot of clubs Playbypoint is the right answer and we would rather you know that now than churn in two months.
- Genuinely multi-sport, covering tennis, padel and pickleball in one system rather than bolting one on.
- Integrations that matter to competitive clubs, including PlaySight video and DUPR ratings.
Where clubs start looking for an alternative
These are the complaints that come up most often in public reviews and operator forums. They are other people's words, not ours — sources are listed at the bottom of this page.
- The pricing opacity itself is the most consistent criticism in independent comparisons — you cannot evaluate cost without entering a sales process.

When Playbypoint is the better choice
If you run a multi-sport club where video review, DUPR-rated play and league depth matter, Playbypoint is built for exactly that and CourtPilot is not. If you are comfortable going through a demo and negotiating a quote, and you want a full club platform, it belongs on your shortlist.
When CourtPilot is the better choice
If you want to know what something costs before you spend an hour on a sales call, and what you actually need is fast court booking and open play that works, CourtPilot publishes its prices and you can be live today without speaking to anyone.

CourtPilot is court booking for independent clubs: members book in seconds with no account, open play and waitlists work out of the box, and it starts at $49/mo with no contract.

How much does Playbypoint cost?
Playbypoint does not publish its pricing publicly. Independent 2026 comparisons report that a demo call is required to get a quote, and third-party figures we found conflict with one another, so we are not going to repeat a number we cannot verify against Playbypoint's own page. Ask them directly, and ask specifically about contract length as well as monthly cost.
Why do so many club platforms hide their pricing?
Usually because pricing is quoted per facility based on courts, locations and modules, and because a demo call is a sales opportunity. It is a legitimate model, but it makes comparison shopping slow, and it tends to mean the price varies by how well you negotiate.
