Pickleball tournament apps, compared

For running an event: who states brackets, pool play, scoring on the day, registration and publishing results to players.

Made by CourtPlay. We list ourselves first and say so.

How we picked and compared

  • Made by CourtPlay. CourtPlay is our product and is labelled.
  • Picked: pickleball apps whose US App Store listing and website we could read on Nov 2, 2026 or later. It is not every pickleball app, and an app we did not cover may be strong at these jobs.
  • Order: CourtPlay's row is first because this is our page; the other apps follow alphabetically. Nothing here is a ranking or a score.
  • "Not stated" means the sources we read do not say. It does not mean the app lacks the feature, and we do not estimate. We did not test the apps by hand.
  • CourtPlay's rows are read from the same feature list and prices as our pricing page. Every other app's rows are read from its own App Store listing or website, each with its source and date.
  • Ratings are US App Store ratings from Apple's public lookup, refreshed by a script. Google Play ratings are not compared. A fact older than 120 days fails our checks.
  • Something out of date or missing? Email us and we will check it against the source.
