Frequently Asked Questions
How is Sports Booking Management different from SimplyBook.me?
SimplyBook.me is designed for service appointments (salons, clinics, consultants). Sports Booking Management is purpose-built for facility bookings — courts, fields, gyms, and athletic complexes. Multi-venue support, which SimplyBook charges extra for, is included, along with staff roles and recurring series for blocking out league nights and practices.
Is the pricing really simpler?
Yes — one plan at $79/mo with unlimited everything. No tiers to decode, no per-booking fees, no paid add-ons for basic features, and your rate is locked at signup.
Can I migrate from SimplyBook.me?
Absolutely. Create your account, set up your venues, and our support team can help you migrate your booking data. Most facilities are up and running within a day.
What does "grandfathered pricing" mean?
It means your price never increases. Sign up at $79/mo today and that is what you pay forever — even if we raise prices for new customers later.
Will you raise my price?
No. We will not raise prices on customers who sign up at the current $79/mo Pro rate — even if our public pricing increases later.
Will you retire my plan?
No. We do not retire old plans. Your plan tier stays valid; we never force you onto a new tier to keep the same features at a higher price.
What does grandfathered mean?
You keep your signup rate and plan tier forever. Sign up at $79/mo Pro today and that is what you pay — always grandfathered in.
