Orhuk

Overview

Orhuk is booking and operations software for sports and fitness venues, from pickleball and racquet clubs to climbing gyms and boutique studios. It is best suited to operators combining court bookings with leagues, classes, or memberships. Its broad free plan avoids subscription costs, but the default 3% booking fee plus Stripe processing makes transaction volume an important part of the decision.

Customers book through a facility-branded site, where they can check availability, pay, manage memberships, and sign waivers. Orhuk says it has no built-in marketplace steering members toward competing businesses, which keeps the booking experience centered on the facility’s own channel.

Key features

Scheduling and programs

Alongside court reservations, Orhuk supports open play, round robins, ladder leagues, clinics, lessons, tournaments, and waitlists. That breadth is useful for venues with varied programming; a simple court calendar would not take advantage of much of the platform. Drag-and-drop scheduling and maintenance windows help staff organize activities around unavailable spaces, while staff shift management, point of sale, and multi-location support cover additional operational needs.

Memberships and payments

Memberships, credits, session packs, and digital waivers with e-signatures support recurring customers and prepaid participation. Facilities can collect payments online through their own Stripe account. Stripe’s standard processing fees still apply, on top of Orhuk’s default 3% booking fee, which players cover unless the facility chooses to absorb it. That distinction matters: a free subscription does not mean bookings are cost-free.

AI, integrations, and access

Orhuk describes an AI assistant that can change pricing, staff schedules, and bookings from natural-language requests, with a preview before changes take effect. It also says AI can configure courts, open play, and pricing in six minutes; facilities should treat that as the company’s setup claim, not a guaranteed setup time. Integrations include Stripe, QuickBooks, Google Calendar, Razorpay, DOKU, an embeddable booking widget, webhooks, and a REST API. Orhuk supports web booking and offers Android, iOS, web, and API platforms, but access control is not included.

Pricing

Free

The Free plan has no subscription or monthly fee, includes all features, and sets no caps on resources or team members. There are no paid tiers to unlock more capacity. Instead, Orhuk charges a flat 3% per transaction by default; players pay that fee unless the facility absorbs it. Stripe’s standard processing fees are separate. This structure suits venues that want to avoid fixed software charges and need unlimited resources, but operators should weigh the transaction costs against their booking volume and payment economics.

Platforms

Orhuk is available on Android, iOS, and the web, with an API for integrations. Customers book through the web channel. Supported court types are pickleball, tennis, and basketball.

Who it's for

Orhuk is a strong fit for facilities running multiple kinds of bookings alongside memberships, including clubs and venues that need staff scheduling or multi-location support. Its uncapped free plan is particularly appealing when avoiding a recurring software bill matters more than minimizing per-transaction charges. It is less suitable for operators who need access control or want booking fees to be absent; they should also assess how the added 3% and Stripe costs affect their revenue.

Pros and cons

• Pros: All features, resources, and team members are included without subscription tiers or caps, so growth does not require moving to a higher software plan.
• Pros: Court bookings, leagues, lessons, memberships, waivers, staff shifts, and multi-location operations sit in one platform, reducing the need to split these tasks across separate systems.
• Pros: A branded booking site and no competing-business marketplace keep customer bookings within the facility’s own channel.
• Cons: The default 3% booking fee applies per transaction, and Stripe processing fees are additional, so high booking volume can make the nominally free plan costly.
• Cons: Access control is not included, leaving facilities that require it to look elsewhere or use another solution.

Verdict

Choose Orhuk if your facility needs one system for bookings, programs, memberships, and operations without a subscription or capacity caps. Its central trade-off is clear: a 3% booking fee by default, plus Stripe processing, in exchange for an expansive free plan. Look elsewhere if access control is essential or transaction fees outweigh the value of avoiding a monthly bill.
