Players are never charged
Signing up for the americano$0
Playing the whole league$0
Looking up the standings$0
Not to sign up, not to play, not to look up a result. Never, and not “for now.”
What it costs usThat is the standard model in this business: some platforms keep a percentage of every entry fee, so a twenty-euro tournament costs the player twenty-one and change. It is money we will never take.

PublicNo accountNo fee
Your level, how it has changed and every match you have played, on a public page. Also if you change club: the record belongs to the person.
What it costs usIn other racket sports you pay a yearly fee to see your own level. That is not going to be charged here.

Playing needs no account

Sign me up
Someone joining an americano does not create a user, does not pick a password and does not install anything. They open a link and type their name.
What it costs usA big list of registered users is the number a product like this gets measured by. It will not be grown here by making people sign up to play on a Tuesday.

We do not track you, which is why there is no cookie banner
Third-party cookies0
Google Analytics and pixelsNo
Cookie bannernot needed
No Google Analytics, no social media pixels, nothing from anyone else. We count how many people open each page and, when someone creates a competition, which website they came from. Nothing else.
What it costs usThe convenient measuring tools and targeted advertising, which is the kind that pays well. And never being able to say “we have N unique users”, because measuring that is precisely what we do not do.

Everything public reads without JavaScript and without an app

A standings table is an ordinary page: it opens on an old phone, on a bad signal and in whatever browser you have.
What it costs usMore work, and giving up an app in the stores. In exchange, it opens on any phone and in any browser, with nothing to download.

The price is written down and there is no salesperson
Peldia ERP, per club$22/month
Minimum termnone
Free nowNo demo to request
The only paid thing is the dashboard for whoever runs the club: $22 a month, no minimum term, and free for now.
What it costs usNot being able to charge the big club more than the small one, and going without the “request a demo” where you get quoted a price based on how your club sounds. And if you write, a person answers.
