A simpler, cheaper alternative to Skedda
Skedda is a well-reviewed booking system, but it is worth knowing what it is built for before you shortlist it for a racquet club: its primary product is workplace and desk booking, and its sports-and-community offering is a separate product called AllBooked.
The short version. Skedda publishes plans from $99/mo (billed annually) for its workplace product, with $99/mo add-ons for extra administrators. Its sports product, AllBooked by Skedda, does not publish pricing — you request a demo. CourtPilot is court-native, $49/mo, published, self-serve.
What Skedda is good at
Any honest comparison starts here, because for a lot of clubs Skedda is the right answer and we would rather you know that now than churn in two months.
- Reviewers consistently praise the interface: "clean, simple, user friendly but looks really professional."
- Support is described as exceptionally helpful, knowledgeable and quick to respond.
- Strong customization of booking conditions, access rules and tagging.
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.
- Time granularity: reviewers report 15-minute intervals being "too rigid" and that granularity "really constrains this system for us."
- Reporting: "Lack of usable reporting features as not suitable to use effectively" and "Reporting isn't as robust as would be ideal."
- A big jump in cost between the free version and the paid pack.

When Skedda is the better choice
If you are booking rooms, desks, studios or mixed facility space — especially if courts are only part of what you schedule — Skedda is genuinely good at that and is reviewed accordingly. It is also the better answer if you need deep customization of booking conditions across many space types.
When CourtPilot is the better choice
If what you run is courts, you want open play sessions with capacity and waitlists, and you want members booking in seconds without an account, CourtPilot is built for that specific job and publishes a price you can see without a demo.

Is Skedda good for booking pickleball or tennis courts?
It can book courts, since a court is a bookable space, but Skedda's core product is oriented to workplace and general space booking. Racquet-specific needs like open play sessions with rotation, skill tiers and waitlists are not what it is designed around, and Skedda directs sports and community venues to its separate AllBooked product.
How much does AllBooked by Skedda cost?
Skedda does not publish AllBooked pricing; the listing directs you to request a demo. If you go that route, ask for the all-in monthly figure including any per-space and per-administrator charges, since those are billed separately on Skedda's published plans.
