Most cricket booking software books the net, not the coach. GoalMate books you.
Search for cricket booking software and almost everything you find manages facilities: lane hire, net allocation, ground bookings, membership for a club. That is useful if you run a centre. It does nothing for a self employed cricket coach trying to fill a winter of one to one sessions.
GoalMate is built around the coach. You set your session types, your prices and the hours you are actually free, and clients book and pay for your time. The venue is a detail on the booking, not the thing being sold.
It is free to join, there is no subscription, and GoalMate takes no commission. You keep 100% of the session price you set.
Free to join, no subscription, and no commission on any booking. You keep 100% of the session price you set. The client pays a service fee on top at checkout: a flat £1 on sessions up to £25, and 4% above that. See the full pricing breakdown.
Most of what ranks for cricket booking is not aimed at you. It is aimed at whoever runs the venue, and that decides who the software treats as its customer.
Space booking. Nets, lanes, courts and rooms, allocated across a venue.
The net gets booked. You do not. There is no profile of yours in it, no client of yours, and no payout in your name.
Net and facility booking, written for clubs and indoor centres.
The account belongs to the centre. You are somebody they schedule rather than somebody they sell.
General appointment booking, with a cricket page added for search.
A block of six has to be faked, a parent booking for a child has nowhere to go, and nobody new ever finds you through it.
No cricket specific booking system publishes a price. These are the two general marketplaces a cricket coach could sign up to today, and what each one would cost you.
| Platform | Published price | Charged per | Commission | Card processing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fresha | £14.95 a month solo, £9.95 per team member | Per bookable team member | 20% of a marketplace client's first booking, minimum £4 | 1.40% and 25p online, 1.19% and 20p in person |
| Booksy | £40 a month, plus £5 per extra team member, all plus VAT | Per business, then per staff member | 30% of a Boost client's first visit, minimum £5 | Not published on the pricing page |
| GoalMate | £0 | No charges to coaches | None. You keep 100% of your session price | Included. The client pays £1 up to £25, then 4% |
Every figure above was read from the platform's own public pricing page in September 2026, and is quoted in the currency it is published in rather than converted. Published rates change, so treat this as the starting point for your own check. Where a column says none published, the platform does not state a figure on a public page.
No. GoalMate books your time and takes the payment. You keep whatever arrangement you already have with the centre or club for the facility, and the venue is recorded on the session so the client knows where to turn up.
Yes. Multi week packages with weekly recurrence are a standard session type, so a block is one purchase for the client and a recurring set of sessions in your diary.
Yes. The account holder books and pays, and the player attending is recorded against the session, which is how most junior cricket coaching is arranged.
Nothing to join, no subscription, and no commission. GoalMate is funded by a service fee the client pays on top of your price at checkout: a flat £1 on sessions up to £25, and 4% above that. On a £50 session the client pays £52.99 and you receive £50.
