Tennivo vs ClubSpark: which fits your tennis club?

ClubSpark and Tennivo both give tennis clubs online court booking, membership management, and payments - but they come from different worlds.

ClubSpark (by Sportlabs) is the Lawn Tennis Association's platform of choice: for LTA-registered venues and accredited coaches in the UK, the core modules - court booking, coaching, membership, and a website builder - are free, with transaction fees on online payments (around 2.9% + 25p per Stripe payment, part of which is ClubSpark's share).

Tennivo is not tied to any federation: any club, anywhere, uses it for free, with every feature, unlimited players, and no commission for the club. It adds built-in tournaments with player rankings and a public club directory that brings players to your club page.

Choose Tennivo if

your club is outside the UK, you want tournaments and player rankings built in, or you want players discovering your club through a public directory.

Choose ClubSpark if

you are an LTA-registered UK venue - the free core modules plus LTA integration (membership, coaching, British Tennis links) are hard to beat on home turf.
