£19.99/month + 50p per booking

Compare with: 25% commission per booking on Courtside-style platforms. On a £40 lesson, that's £10 vs 50p.

Why we built it

A tennis coach friend was paying ~25% per booking to a marketplace platform that's web-only and unreliable. There's no marketplace work behind that 25% — it's all automated. We built the SaaS version: coach pays a small flat fee, keeps the rest.

No commission, ever

Flat £19.99/month + 50p per booking. Coach owns 100% of lesson revenue, paid directly to their bank via Stripe Connect.
