The fees land on your member
Booking by card costs them 4%, and joining an open match up to 20% of their share. The same spot through your club WhatsApp costs them nothing.
Playtomic alternative
The Playtomic alternative that fills your padel club
Playtomic is a marketplace: it brings you strangers. AI4Padel is the AI manager that gets the members you already have playing more: it picks who fits each match and leaves the invitation written for you to send from your club's WhatsApp. No commissions, no app for the player, and the member relationship stays on your number — not on a platform.
Why clubs go looking for an alternative
The relationship lives on the platform
Your player's account, data and bookings stay in the marketplace — which also shows them every nearby club in the network: your competitors, one thumb-swipe away.
The open match doesn't choose
The spot goes to whoever signs up first with a roughly similar level, not to whoever fits by court side and history. The lopsided game is your cost, not theirs.
Your member needs their app
A new account, a new app, and friction for the member who just wanted to play on Thursday. With AI4Padel they get a WhatsApp from their club and reply.

Let's be honest: when each one makes sense
Stay with Playtomic alone if…
You just opened and nobody knows you, or you live off passing players in a tourist area. Acquisition is their strength and we won't pretend it's ours.
Switch to AI4Padel if…
You have plenty of members and what slips away is the gaps: matches stuck at three, endless confirmations, members drifting. Your problem isn't acquisition — it's performance.
Use both if…
You want to acquire outside and fill inside. The most common setup: the spot goes first to your members through your WhatsApp, free; the marketplace stays for new faces.

Questions from people coming from Playtomic
Does AI4Padel replace Playtomic?
They do different jobs: Playtomic acquires outside players; AI4Padel fills with your members and keeps them coming back. Many clubs use both. If your goal is depending less on the marketplace, AI4Padel offers the spot to your own people first, through your WhatsApp, fee-free.
Do I have to change my booking software to start?
No. The Esencial plan works on top of whatever you use: Matchpoint, Playtomic or your spreadsheet. If you ever want a single system, that will be the Completo plan (reservations open today) — and only if you ask for it.
What does my player pay with AI4Padel?
Nothing: no fee, no app, no account. They get a WhatsApp from their club's number and reply. And if they ask you to stop writing, you note it down and they drop off every list.
How much does it cost, and what if it doesn't work?
Flat price from €49/month, no commissions, no setup fee, no lock-in. And the first month is free: you try it before paying anything.
Can I see it with my data first?
Yes: book a 15-minute demo and we run it on your real calendar, with your members and your actual gaps.
Shall we look at your real week?
