EZFacility Alternatives With Pricing You Can See Up Front

EZFacility is built for sports facilities with courts, leagues and rentals, and is sold by quote. If you rent space by the hour it fits. If you run classes and staff, the comparison changes.

EZFacility is management software for sports and recreation facilities — court and field booking, league scheduling, rentals, and membership. Mako is the business platform for a service business built on classes, appointments and memberships. The two overlap on membership and payments and separate sharply either side of that, so the first thing worth establishing is which shape your business is.

Pricing

EZFacility: No pricing is published. Plans are quoted per facility after a sales conversation. We have not printed a figure because we could not verify one, and a fabricated number would be worse than an honest gap.

Mako: Pulse is free. Basic at $139/month — the complete operational platform with three team members. Team at $249/monthfifteen team members, extra locations at $75/month each, advanced reporting, QuickBooks sync. Enterprise at $999/month — unlimited members across three locations. Roughly 20% off annually, no contract.

If you request an EZFacility quote, get the whole thing in writing: base platform, per-location or per-facility charges, hardware, onboarding and setup fees, contract length, and the renewal rate. A first-year number is not a price.

The Fork in the Road

You need EZFacility if your revenue comes from renting space and running leagues — courts, pitches, cages, ice, rink time, tournament brackets, and recurring seasonal registration. That is a specific scheduling problem with resource conflicts at its heart, and Mako does not solve it.

You need Mako if your revenue comes from classes, appointments, memberships and staff-delivered services, and your real constraint is knowing what makes money rather than who has the court at seven.

Where EZFacility Wins

Facility and Resource Booking

Courts, fields and rentals with conflict handling. Purpose-built and not something a general platform replicates.

League and Tournament Management

Brackets, divisions, standings and seasonal registration — a genuinely hard problem, solved.

Multi-Sport Operations

Built for facilities running several sports and rental types under one roof.

Where Mako Wins

Published Pricing, No Contract

The number is on the page, the same for everyone, and you can leave month to month.

Financial Intelligence

Profit per class and per service after staff pay, cash-flow forecasting, unit economics, LTV — built for an owner who is also the finance department.

Staff Pay and Commissions

Session rates, splits, tips, timesheets and payouts, calculated at the rate in force on the day.

Retail and Inventory

Pro shop stock, low-stock alerts, and margin per item rather than a shelf and a notebook.

Free Retention Benchmarking

Pulse costs nothing, imports from other systems, and compares your retention against market averages — usable without a sales call, which is rather the point.

The Decision

Pick EZFacility if:

  • You rent courts, fields or space by the hour
  • You run leagues or tournaments with brackets and standings
  • You have the procurement capacity to run a quote process

Pick Mako if:

  • Your revenue is classes, appointments and memberships
  • You want to know the price before the demo
  • You need profit per service and staff pay handled
  • You want no contract and no setup fee

Your business is a business. Not a hobby, not a side project, not a calendar with a cash register. It deserves software that treats it accordingly. If your platform cannot tell you whether you are financially healthy, it is not doing its job. And in 2026, you have better options.
