The best padel apps in 2026: booking, matches, scoring and analysis
17 October 2026 · @ImPeteris
Padel is played in fours, booked by the hour and usually decided by a few points. A good app helps with all three. These are the five padel tools we list today, grouped by the job they do.
Book a court and find players
Playtomic
Playtomic is the app most padel players already have. You can search clubs near you, book a court, join open matches at your level and keep in touch with the players you meet. Clubs use Playtomic Manager behind the scenes to handle bookings, so many venues only take reservations there.
Best for: booking at the big padel club chains and finding open matches when you are one player short.
MATCHi
MATCHi is a booking platform that started in Sweden and now covers racket sports venues in many countries. It handles padel alongside tennis, badminton, squash and table tennis. Many Nordic clubs, such as Padelverket south of Stockholm, take bookings through it.
Best for: players in Scandinavia and anyone whose club runs on MATCHi.
Padel Mates
Padel Mates is another Swedish app for booking and paying for courts. It shows nearby venues on a map and lets you join matches and connect with other players. It also covers tennis, pickleball, badminton and squash.
Best for: finding venues on a map, then booking and paying in the same app.
Keep score
Padel Point
Padel Point puts the score on your wrist. You tap your Apple Watch or Huawei Watch to log each point, and it tracks games, sets and tie-breaks for you. The iPhone app adds match history, Americano and Mexicano tournament formats, health stats and a strategy board.
Best for: settling the "was it 30-40 or deuce?" argument, and running a social Americano without a whiteboard.
Get better
VamosPRO
VamosPRO is an AI padel analysis service. You film a doubles match on your phone and it turns the video into data: heatmaps of where each player stood, shot breakdowns and positioning stats on a calibrated 10 x 20 m court. The point is to show you what to train next, rather than guessing.
Best for: players who already play regularly and want to know why they lose the points they lose.
Which one should you get?
Most players end up with two: the booking app their club uses, plus one tool that helps them play better. If your club is on Playtomic or MATCHi, you do not get to choose the first one. The second one is up to you.
