In short
OnCourtMatch is UK club software that automates weekly sessions, with invites, waitlists and court pairings, and runs box leagues with promotion and ladder leagues, for £19.99 a month per club. Padeliga is made only for padel leagues: the other pair confirms each score, box leagues, Champion of champions and knockouts run from one club console, members have an iPhone app, and members never pay.
Who wrote this
We make Padeliga, so this is our comparison, not an independent review. We have kept it to facts you can check on OnCourtMatch’s own website and ours, included the rows where OnCourtMatch matches or does more than Padeliga, and listed our sources under the table so you can verify every line.
What each one is
OnCourtMatch is session and league software for UK sports clubs. It sends invites and reminders for club sessions, makes up the courts, and runs box leagues and ladders, with a web app for members.
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.
Side by side
Compared on 4 October 2026: OnCourtMatch as described on its own website and app listings, and Padeliga as it works today.
| OnCourtMatch | Padeliga | |
|---|---|---|
| Made for | Weekly club sessions and leagues for UK clubs in several sports | Padel leagues, box leagues and knockouts at clubs and venues |
| Club sessions | Invites, waitlists and balanced four player courts each week | Not offered: Padeliga runs leagues and knockouts |
| Box leagues | Round robin boxes with automatic season rollover, promotion and demotion | Promotion and relegation by numbers set before the season, seeded by Playtomic level or at random |
| Ladders | Challenge ladders with automatic points | Coming, not yet live |
| How players get in | Email, WhatsApp or SMS invites; admins place players or players register while a league is in draft | A six character code or a QR poster, then a name and a PIN. No account, no email address. |
| Scores | Players record results; opponent confirmation not stated | One pair enters the score and the other pair confirms it. A score nobody answers confirms itself after 72 hours. |
| Agreeing a time | Players schedule their own matches in the app, with a season deadline | Pairs agree a time in the app or add the time they agreed, with a deadline per match: organise by it, or play by it |
| Notifications | Email, WhatsApp and SMS invites and reminders are advertised; its pricing card says email notifications only | Push notifications for the draw, times, scores and deadlines, a button to the league’s WhatsApp group, and a WhatsApp group per match |
| Apps | A web dashboard and a web app for members; no store app stated | iPhone app on the App Store; on Android it runs in the browser and installs from there |
| Price | £19.99 a month per club, unlimited members; a free first month for early clubs | Free for members. Clubs get a free 90-day trial, then pricing is agreed at a review. No public club price. |

Where OnCourtMatch is the better fit
- Weekly club sessions: invites, waitlists and court pairings, as well as leagues.
- A ladder today; Padeliga’s is still to come.
- Several sports, plus a coaching booking add on and digital membership cards.
- A published monthly price.
Where Padeliga is different
- The other pair confirms each score, and a score nobody answers confirms itself after 72 hours.
- More league formats for padel: a new partner each week, Champion of champions and knockouts with a plate.
- An iPhone app with push notifications, and a WhatsApp group per match.
- Members never pay, and clubs start with a free 90-day trial.
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.
