PlayByPoint

racquet & fitness facility management

PlayByPoint is a mobile-first platform for racquet and fitness facilities, covering court reservations, memberships, scheduling and automated payments. Booking is quick on the phone, and its support has a good reputation. core.club covers the same court booking and memberships, and adds classes, events, leagues, tournaments and ladders, member chat and a shared gallery. Members get one app for the whole club, and it starts free rather than on a monthly subscription.

Frequently asked

Is core.club a PlayByPoint alternative?+

Yes. Both cover court booking, memberships, classes, leagues and ladders and payments. core.club works for any club and lets members message each other, with pricing that starts free rather than a monthly subscription.

What does PlayByPoint do that core.club does not?+

PlayByPoint has open-play Game Match, which pairs players into balanced games using ratings like DUPR, plus a pro-shop POS and demand-based pricing. core.club does neither automated match-making nor retail POS, so a busy open-play club will get more from PlayByPoint there.
