Playtomic or your club's own app: how MeetScarlet compares.
For a padel club with a community of its own, MeetScarlet is the better pick: members book in an app with your club's name and no other clubs in it, at a published $349 a month for one location, while Playtomic lists clubs side by side in its player app and shows no prices on its pricing page. MeetScarlet's setup is $999 on monthly billing and free on yearly. We make MeetScarlet; every Playtomic fact here comes from Playtomic'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 October 31, 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 your club has a community already and you want members booking in your club's own app, with your name on the icon and no other clubs in the list. It has the padel essentials: courts by the slot with peak and off-peak prices, split payments, open matches by level and Americano events. Its price is published, $349 a month for one location with setup free on yearly billing, where Playtomic shows no prices on its pricing page.
Playtomic may suit you if you want its network of 1.7M+ monthly active players, per its Manager page, to find your courts, or you run leagues and tournaments.
Why padel clubs pick MeetScarlet over Playtomic
- Your club's own app, in your club's name; Playtomic players book in the Playtomic app alongside other clubs
- A published price, $349 a month for one location with the app included; Playtomic's pricing page shows four plans and no prices
- Open matches by level, split payments and Americano events, inside your own app
- Published under your own Apple and Google developer accounts, so the listing is in your club's name
- Our team imports your member list and sets up your courts, slot lengths, prices and club membership as part of setup
A network, or an app of your own
On Playtomic, players book in the Playtomic player app, where your club sits next to other clubs. We read Playtomic's pricing and Manager pages and found no app published under a club's own name; Playtomic's help centre blocked automated reading, so check with Playtomic if that matters to you.
MeetScarlet is that app: your club's name and icon in the App Store and Google Play, published under your own developer accounts, with only your courts inside.

Questions to ask on a Playtomic demo
Playtomic's public pages leave these open, so ask before you sign:
- What does each plan cost for my number of courts?
- Is there a free trial or a setup fee, and for how long?
- Can my club have an app under its own name, not only a listing in the player app?
- How long is the contract, and what notice do I give to cancel?
- 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.
Moving from Playtomic to MeetScarlet
We import your member list from a spreadsheet or CSV export, then set up your courts, slot lengths, prices and club membership as part of setup. About 4 to 6 weeks for the store apps, most of it Apple's enrollment. Your web app's link is ready during setup, and members can book there as soon as you choose your MeetScarlet plan. They keep the same account when the store apps launch.
Some clubs keep a network listing for new players and move their regulars to their own app. If you do, decide which courts or hours each one takes, so the same slot is never sold twice.

How much does Playtomic cost? #
Playtomic's pricing page lists Standard, Professional, Champion and Master plans, monthly or yearly, but showed no prices on October 31, 2026. Ask Playtomic for a quote.
Can my club have its own app with Playtomic? #
We found no app under a club's own name on Playtomic's pricing or Manager pages. Players book in the Playtomic player app, where your club has its own page. With MeetScarlet, the app is your club's own, in your club's name.
Does MeetScarlet have open matches and split payments? #
Yes. Players open a match, set a level range and others at that level join, and the player who books can split the court so each player pays their share.
Is this comparison independent? #
No. We make MeetScarlet, and we recommend it to padel clubs that want members booking in their own app. Every Playtomic fact comes from Playtomic's own pages, dated, and we say where Playtomic may fit better.
