PlayRez
What it is
PlayRez provides club management and tournament hosting for tennis, pickleball, badminton, and padel. Members can book courts using real-time availability, and the service says its booking system avoids double bookings. Clubs get a branded booking page and can run one-time or recurring events, including clinics, round robins, and open play, with online signups. If a participant cancels, the next person on the waitlist is notified and moved into the opening automatically. Clubs connect a Stripe account to collect booking and event payments; PlayRez charges no platform fee, though Stripe processing fees apply. Tournament formats include round robin, single elimination, double elimination, and Swiss, with schedules and live scores. A tournament can include up to 256 players or teams, and DUPR export is supported. The free club plan includes up to two courts and 100 monthly reservations. Plus costs $35.00 per month. Tournament hosting is free, with a flat $1 deducted per paid signup; free tournaments cost nothing.

The review
Overview
PlayRez brings court reservations, club activities, and tournament tools together for tennis, pickleball, badminton, and padel. It is a strong fit for clubs that want members to manage bookings and signups online, and for organizers who need tournament software without club-management tools. Its main trade-off is a tightly capped free club plan, while tournament hosting has its own per-signup charge.
Key features
Bookings and events
Members can book courts against real-time availability, which PlayRez says avoids double bookings. Clubs get a branded booking page at playrez.com/your-club, plus tools for one-time or recurring events such as clinics, round robins, and open play. Online signups and automatic waitlist promotion after a cancellation reduce the follow-up work for club staff. The benefit is most relevant to clubs running a steady mix of court reservations and activities; clubs that only need tournament brackets may not need this broader toolkit.
Payments and tournaments
Clubs connect a Stripe account to accept booking and event payments. PlayRez charges no platform fee for those payments, although Stripe processing fees still apply. Tournament organizers can choose round robin, single elimination, double elimination, or Swiss formats, publish schedules and live scores, and export to DUPR. The 256-player-or-team maximum covers many club tournaments, but rules out larger fields.
Security and support
PlayRez says it encrypts traffic with TLS and bcrypt-hashes passwords. Stripe handles card data and is described as PCI-DSS Level 1 certified. PlayRez also says it does not sell, rent, or trade personal information and identifies Vercel hosting and MongoDB Atlas storage. Support is by email; Plus adds priority support, which matters more to clubs relying on the service for day-to-day operations.
Pricing
PlayRez has a free club plan, Plus at $35 a month, and a separate free tournament-hosting option. A 10-day trial is also offered.
| Plan | Price | What it includes | Best fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | Custom pricing | Up to 2 courts, 100 monthly reservations, a booking page, email notifications, and basic analytics | Small clubs testing online reservations or operating within the court and booking caps |
| Plus | $35 a month | Unlimited courts and monthly reservations; advanced analytics; iOS and Android apps; payment integrations; events, signups, and waitlists; private memberships; digital waivers; custom branding; tournaments; priority support | Clubs that have outgrown the Free caps or need the broader membership, event, payment, and branding features |
| Tournament hosting | free | All tournament features, up to 256 players or teams; free tournaments cost nothing, while $1 is deducted per paid signup | Organizers who need tournament formats and scoring without subscribing to club-management software |
The Free plan’s two-court and 100-reservation ceilings make it a starter tier, not a long-term choice for a busy club. Plus removes those limits and adds private memberships and waivers, but the monthly price is only a starting point for payment costs: Stripe processing fees still apply. Tournament hosting avoids a subscription, but the $1 deduction on each paid signup makes its cost rise with paid participation.
Platforms
PlayRez supports Android, iOS, and web. Plus includes iOS and Android apps; the Free plan includes a booking page and email notifications.
Who it's for
PlayRez suits tennis, pickleball, badminton, and padel clubs managing court reservations, events, memberships, and payments in one service. Its separate tournament option also makes sense for independent organizers who do not need to run a club. Clubs needing more than 256 tournament participants or a free club tier without the stated reservation and court caps should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Real-time court booking and automatic waitlist promotion help reduce reservation conflicts and manual cancellation follow-up.
- Plus combines unlimited courts and monthly reservations with events, memberships, waivers, payment integrations, and apps for $35 a month.
- Tournament organizers get four formats, live scores, schedules, and DUPR export, with no charge for free tournaments.
- PlayRez charges no platform fee on booking and event payments, though Stripe fees remain.
Cons
- The Free club plan stops at 2 courts and 100 monthly reservations, limiting its usefulness as a club grows.
- Paid tournament signups incur a $1 deduction per signup, and tournament fields cannot exceed 256 players or teams.
- Priority support is reserved for Plus, while other support is by email.
Alternatives
- Court Reservation Software is a broader category directory for comparing reservation products.
- CourtBeam may suit clubs that want a free plan with up to two reservable court calendars, groups, events, RSVP, and basic waitlists.
- Eyes On Club is worth considering for free court reservations with a booking portal and app, with no booking commission stated.
- Orhuk may appeal to operators seeking unlimited resources and team members without a subscription, in exchange for a flat 3% transaction fee.
- PickLM may fit approved clubs looking for full feature access at no charge during its launch period.
- ClubSpark is another paid option for clubs comparing membership-based plans.
- CortClub is another paid court and venue management option.
- CourtReserve is a paid alternative with an annually billed Launch plan that includes eight courts.
- OpenCourt is a paid alternative with a Growth plan offering unlimited courts or spaces and members, plus a 3% service fee per transaction.
Verdict
Choose PlayRez if your club needs reservations, events, memberships, and tournament tools in one service, or if you organize tournaments independently and can work within the 256-player-or-team cap. The Plus plan’s unlimited courts and monthly reservations are compelling at $35 a month, but the Free club caps are restrictive and paid tournament signups carry a $1 deduction. Clubs that need a larger tournament field or want to avoid per-signup deductions should compare alternatives.
