What makes us different: marketing, not only bookings

Most club platforms solve the same problem (the reservation calendar) and stop there. That is the gap Smash fills.

Your club, visible on Google

Every Smash club gets a public page built to show up when someone searches for a padel or tennis court in their city. Playtomic and Taykus are built to run operations and bookings; Smash is also built so new players can find you.

Social content without a designer

The AI poster generator creates publish-ready material with your club logo and colors in minutes. Neither competitor in this comparison includes marketing content generation in the product.

See how your club sits against nearby venues

The market analysis map (Growth plan) shows nearby clubs and how you compare. That kind of integrated competitive context is not what Playtomic or Taykus publicly offer.

Reviews and FAQ from day one

Your club page includes reviews and FAQs that build trust, without bolting on another tool.

Why Smash is the most complete option here

Transparent pricing from the first visit. No sales call required to know what you will pay.
You do not have to rip out what you already use. Smash can run alongside your current booking system.
It is the only platform in this comparison built for club marketing as well as bookings.
0% Smash commission on booking and membership payments, unlike platforms that charge service commissions on reservations.
