The three differences that matter most
Both platforms handle court booking, sessions, coaching and memberships. The differences are in who they’re built for, how they’re priced and how much you have to set up.
- 1
Priced in pounds, by plan — not by court
CourtReserve publishes its prices in US dollars, starting at $199 a month for up to 8 courts and rising with your court count. PicklePro plans start at £29 a month and are priced by plan, not by how many courts you have.
- 2
Pickleball-first and simple to run
CourtReserve is built for every kind of racquet club, with add-ons and integrations to match. PicklePro focuses on what a pickleball club needs, so most clubs are taking bookings the same day they sign up.
- 3
Built and supported in the UK
PicklePro is built by a UK team, supported in UK hours, and takes payments through Stripe at UK rates — straight into your club’s bank account.
