Orhuk vs PlayRez

Orhuk provides booking and management software for pickleball clubs, racquet facilities, sports venues, climbing gyms, and boutique fitness studios. It handles open play, court reservations, round robins, ladder leagues, clinics, lessons, tournaments, and waitlists. Facilities can manage memberships, credits, session packs, digital waivers with e-signatures, staff shifts, maintenance windows, point of sale, and multiple locations. Customers use a branded booking site to check availability, book and pay, manage memberships, and sign waivers. The platform lists Stripe, QuickBooks, Google Calendar, Razorpay, DOKU, an embeddable booking widget, webhooks, and a REST API among its integrations. Its AI assistant can make changes to pricing, schedules, and bookings through natural language, with proposed changes previewed first. The free plan has no subscription or monthly fee and includes all features without tiers or resource caps. Players cover the 3% booking fee by default, or the facility can absorb it. Online payments use the facility’s own Stripe account, and Stripe’s standard processing fees apply.

PlayRez provides club management and tournament hosting for tennis, pickleball, badminton, and padel. Members can book courts using real-time availability, and the service says bookings avoid double bookings. Clubs get a branded booking page and can run one-time or recurring events such as clinics, round robins, and open play with online signups. When someone cancels, the next person on the waitlist is notified and moved into the opening automatically. Clubs connect a Stripe account to accept booking and event payments; PlayRez charges no platform fee, while Stripe processing fees apply. Tournament formats include round robin, single elimination, double elimination, and Swiss, with live scores and schedules. A tournament can include up to 256 players or teams, and DUPR export is supported. The free club plan supports up to two courts and 100 monthly reservations, with a booking page, email notifications, and basic analytics. Plus costs $35 a month and includes unlimited courts and monthly reservations, apps for iOS and Android, and added club features. Tournament hosting is free, with a flat 1 USD deducted per paid signup; free tournaments cost nothing.
