The Skedda Alternative — Always Grandfathered In
Looking for a Skedda alternative after a surprise price increase? Sports Booking Management offers Pro at $39/mo with a promise competitors won't match: you are always grandfathered in at the rate and plan you signed up for.
What happened with Skedda pricing?
Many facilities report that Skedda recently raised its base plan from $39/month to $99/month with little warning — a more than 2× increase overnight. That kind of surprise hike hurts community centers, clubs, and multi-sport complexes operating on tight budgets.
Price increases are frustrating enough. What hurts more is when vendors also sunset legacy plans and force you onto new tiers to keep the same features. You end up paying more for the same product — or scrambling to migrate under pressure.
