CourtReserve or MeetScarlet: an app with your club's name.
For a padel club that wants an app with its own name, MeetScarlet is the better pick: it comes in every plan for $349 a month, against $549 for Momentum, the plan CourtReserve's pricing page lists it on, with a $499 setup fee and a 1-year contract. MeetScarlet also runs Americano and lets players split a court, which we didn't find on CourtReserve's pages; our setup is $999 on monthly billing and free on yearly. We make MeetScarlet; every CourtReserve fact here comes from CourtReserve's own pages.
Which should you pick?
Who wrote this: the team that makes MeetScarlet. We compare from each vendor's own public pages, read on November 1, 2026, not from a hands-on test of the rival. Where a vendor does not publish something, we say so rather than guess.
Pick MeetScarlet if the app with your club's name is the point. MeetScarlet includes it in every plan for $349 a month, against $549 a month for Momentum, the CourtReserve plan its pricing page lists it on, with a $499 setup fee and a 1-year contract; our setup is $999 on monthly billing and free on yearly. MeetScarlet also adds Americano scoring and a court split between players, neither of which CourtReserve's pages name (its events do cover round robins and socials), and our team sets the app up under your own Apple and Google developer accounts.
CourtReserve may suit you if you also run tennis or pickleball, want unlimited staff and members with leagues and ladders, or don't need your own app: Launch is $199 a month for 8 courts.

Questions to ask on a CourtReserve demo
CourtReserve's public pages leave these open, so ask before you sign:
- Whether the branded app costs extra on Momentum: its pricing page lists a $499 setup fee, its padel page says no extra cost.
- Is the $499 setup fee and 1-year contract on top of the plan price?
- Which developer account holds the app in the App Store and Google Play?
- Can players split the court cost, and can I run Americano?
- If you leave, can you export your client list, and what comes with it?
Ask us the same questions about MeetScarlet; our prices are on the homepage.

How much is CourtReserve's branded app? #
CourtReserve's pricing page lists a branded mobile app on Momentum, $549 a month for 32 courts ($499 billed annually), with a one-time $499 setup fee and a 1-year contract for it. Its branded-app page agrees on the plans, naming Momentum and Enterprise, but its padel page offers a branded app “at no extra cost”, so ask which applies to your club (read November 6, 2026).
Is CourtReserve cheaper than MeetScarlet? #
Not for an app with your club's name, on its pricing page's terms: MeetScarlet is $349 a month against $549 for Momentum, or $3,490 a year against $5,988 ($499 × 12) billed annually, before CourtReserve's $499 app setup fee and MeetScarlet's $999 setup on monthly billing. Without an app of your own, CourtReserve costs less: Launch is $199 a month for 8 courts.
Does CourtReserve run Americano or split payments? #
MeetScarlet does both: it runs Americano and lets players split a court booking between them. We did not find Americano or split payments between players on CourtReserve's padel, features, pricing or branded-app pages, read in full November 1, 2026; it names leagues, ladders, a player match-maker and events including round robins and socials.
Is this comparison independent? #
No. We make MeetScarlet, and we recommend it to padel clubs that want an app with their own name at one published price. Every CourtReserve fact comes from CourtReserve's own pages, dated, and we say where CourtReserve may fit better.
