Our comparison
A BoxLeague Pro alternative for padel clubs
In short
BoxLeague Pro is a free web app for box leagues in five racquet sports, with padel as doubles, sign in by Google or email, and a Match Finder that suggests times when all four players are free. Padeliga is made only for padel leagues at clubs: members join with a code and a PIN without an account, the other pair confirms each score, and box leagues move players up and down by numbers set before the season.

We make Padeliga, so this is our comparison, not an independent review. We have kept it to facts you can check on BoxLeague Pro’s own website and ours, included the rows where BoxLeague Pro matches or does more than Padeliga, and listed our sources under the table so you can verify every line.
What each one is
BoxLeague Pro is a free box league web app for tennis, padel, squash, racketball and badminton, built by a UK software company. Organisers invite players by link, players mark when they are free, and its Match Finder suggests times when everyone can play.
Padeliga is padel league software for UK clubs and venues. Members join from a code or a QR poster with a name and a PIN, agree match times in the app and confirm each other’s scores. Staff run every league from one club console.

- BoxLeague Pro home page
- BoxLeague Pro app
- Padeliga: padeliga.co.uk/clubs, padeliga.co.uk/about and padeliga.co.uk/help.
BoxLeague Pro is a trade mark of its owner. Padeliga is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, any of them. Features and prices change: check their site before you decide. Spotted something wrong or out of date? Email hello@padeliga.co.uk and we will correct it.
Where BoxLeague Pro is the better fit
- Completely free for clubs, with no player limits.
- Finding a time for four people. Its availability grid and Match Finder suggest times when all four players are free.
- Several racquet sports in one place, if your club runs tennis or squash box leagues too.
Where Padeliga is different
- No account for players. A code and a PIN, nothing to sign up for.
- The other pair confirms each score, and a score nobody answers confirms itself after 72 hours.
- Box leagues that move people for you: the top go up and the bottom come down by numbers set before the season. See the padel box league app.
- An iPhone app with push notifications, and a WhatsApp group per match.
- More formats: a new partner each week, Champion of champions and knockouts from the same console.
What Padeliga does not do: it does not book courts or take payments, it has no tournament day court scheduler or live scoring, and it runs padel only. A challenge ladder is coming but not yet live.
