The model, stated plainly
We stopped charging
We stopped charging
for the game itself.
We used to charge for sending a challenge and entering a draw. That was wrong: a challenge needs two people, so your game ended up depending on whether somebody else had paid. Playing is free now.
Coaching is free
Listing yourself, publishing bookable sessions, running a roster, reviewing skill claims. Free, and it stays free.
Tournaments
Every player enters and plays free. Running one, with the draw, umpires and standings, is Pro. One subscription runs the event for the whole field.
Side by side
What changes when the trial ends.
Less than you would think. Challenges, buddies, tournaments, results, your rank and your points all keep working. Pro covers the scoreboard you open, the tables, coaching bookings and gear offers.

Why it is worth it
Four things ₹119 buys.
A real scoreboard, on a phone on the bench
Tap the side that won the rally. Serve, service court, interval, game point and match point all work themselves out. Undo is one press.
Whoever you are playing can follow it, free.
Where you stand
Your rank says which tier you have reached. The board says how you are doing against everyone else. A Court General who plays every week will out-point a Smash Master who stopped.
Your city first, then the country. One decent game a month makes this cheaper than a single court booking.
Someone to play, tonight
Everyone near you, closest first, filtered by level and format. The hard part of badminton in a city is not finding a court. It is finding somebody at your level who is free when you are.
A safer way to meet strangers
No phone numbers on profiles. Locations rounded to a kilometre before they are stored. Gear photos checked before a listing goes up. Numbers shared only once both sides agree.
You can also not pay
10,000 shuttle points
10,000 shuttle points
is a month of Pro.
Claim it and it lands on your account straight away, added to whatever you already have. Everything else on the ladder is a real object somebody has to post.
Billing
The money questions.
When does the trial start, and can I restart it?
It starts the day you sign up and runs for seven days. Signing out or reinstalling will not restart it.
Do I need a card for the trial?
No. Nothing is taken and nothing is authorised until you choose to subscribe.
How do I cancel?
In the App Store or Play Store, under your subscriptions. The month you have paid for runs to the end.
Why through the stores rather than UPI or a card?
Apple and Google both require it for anything that unlocks features in an app, so the subscription has to go through the stores. Paying a coach for a real session is a different thing and does not.
What happens to my data if I stop paying?
Nothing is deleted. Your rank, record, hours, skills, points, buddy groups and gear listings all stay, and you carry on playing for free.
What stops is opening a live scoreboard, the leaderboards and standings, coaching bookings, gear offers and the level filters. Matches you play meanwhile still count, so your table is waiting if you come back.
Is there a yearly plan, or a student price?
Not yet. One price is easier to trust, and at ₹119 a discount ladder would confuse more than it saves. Ask us if you want one.
Seven days, everything on.
Then decide. Most people know after one match.
