What a 6-court venue might pay
A venue with six courts needs more than the three court-style spaces on Yep!Booking's Plus plan, and wants online payments, so it needs Premium at about US$62 a month, or Max at about US$76 a month for invoicing and Google Calendar. On Bookingly the price does not depend on how many courts you have or which features you use: free up to the monthly booking limit, then Bookingly Pro at one flat price.
