PaQueueKa

PaQueueKa takes the clipboard, the whiteboard, and the "who's next?" arguments out of badminton night. The host creates a session, players join by scanning a code — no account, no sign-up — and the app handles the rest: building fair matches, rotating the queue, and keeping score. HOST A SESSION IN SECONDS • Pick singles or doubles and set how many courts are running. • Share a 6-character code or a QR code. Players join from their own phones. • No login for anyone. Just a name, a skill level, and an emoji. SMART, FAIR MATCHMAKING • Players are matched by skill tier, so games stay competitive. • Teams are balanced automatically using an adjusted win rate that doesn't punish newcomers. • Recently-paired players aren't stuck together — partners get mixed up. • After each match, players rotate to the back of the queue so everyone gets court time. LIVE COURT CONTROL • See every court, who's playing, and who's up next at a glance. • Start the next match with one tap. Record the score. The queue updates itself. • Edit a lineup mid-match, fix a player's skill tier, or remove someone on the fly. • Best-of-3 scoring supported when you want it. RANKINGS & HISTORY • Live, in-session rankings update as results come in. • Every past session keeps its final standings and full match history. • Players get a shareable recap card at the end of the night. SPLIT THE COURT FEES, FAIRLY • Set the total or a per-match fee. The app divides it up. • Split evenly, by matches played, or equally among everyone who played. • Mark who's paid with a tap. Apply per-player discounts when you need to. EARN BADGES • Milestone badges for matches played, wins, and sessions — Bronze to Diamond. • A personal profile with your stats, play time, and the people you've played most. DO MORE — ONE-TIME UNLOCKS (NO SUBSCRIPTION) Hosting a session and joining one are always free. Two optional one-time purchases add more if you want it: Player Plus — for the regular player: • Personal performance analytics and insights. • Pro Identity cosmetics: an animated avatar frame, exclusive avatars, a name color, and a custom tagline. • Extra reveals on your end-of-session recap card. Pro Host — for the people who run the night (includes everything in Player Plus): • Create your own club with a crest and members. • Persistent club rankings across every session. • Quick-start session templates so you're set up in one tap. • A saved guest roster — regulars carry over night to night. • A club ledger that tracks who owes what across sessions. • Club events with RSVPs, and co-admins who can run sessions with you. Both are one-time purchases. No subscription, ever. Already have Player Plus? Pro Host is offered to you at a discounted upgrade price. WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW • Creating, joining, and ending a session needs an internet connection; in-session actions like recording a result keep working if your signal drops and sync when you're back. • No ads. No third-party trackers. No account required to play. Got a court full of people and a list of names? Let PaQueueKa run the queue.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Racketa at none against PaQueueKa's 3. Racketa also leads on device support (3 vs 1). PaQueueKa's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
