What each one is for
ClubPad is for running a club. You publish a session and members book themselves in. You can see who has paid and who still owes for that night.
On the night, you run the games from your phone with the Live Mixer, tapping in the winners as courts finish. Each night's results and photos are kept in your club's History, and you can publish a public page for the club that people can find on Google.
Pickleheads is built for players looking for a game. Its main sections are Play, Organize, Facilities and Shop, and clubs sit inside one of them as Groups.
How they compare
| ClubPad | Pickleheads | |
|---|---|---|
| Fee to players | None on cash, Revolut or bank transfer | 7% of the session price (up to $10), plus card processing |
| Payment tracking | Paid and owing per session, with a reference on every paid booking | Charge and refund per session |
| Formats | Six live formats, five of them on the free plan, run from one phone | Round robins |
Pickleheads' fee is from its own pricing and payments pages, September 2026.
When Pickleheads is the better choice
- You want pickup games rather than a club night of your own.
- You play wherever there is a court going, and not with one set of people.
- Finding a court matters more to you than collecting the money or keeping the records.
