JustGo is a capable product and its features and pricing change over time. Always check their own site for the latest. This comparison reflects how each tool fits a UK target shooting club specifically.
- You run a UK target shooting club, syndicate or range
- You want shooting records, club guns and Home Office requirements handled out of the box
- You'd rather not bend a general tool with custom fields and workarounds
- You want support from people who actually run clubs
- You're a national governing body or multi-club organisation
- You need licensing or accreditation across many clubs
- You have admin resource to configure a broad platform
- Shooting-specific club records aren't your day-to-day priority
The honest version
JustGo is a serious platform, and at the national governing body level it does a lot. If you need licensing and accreditation managed across many clubs, that breadth is the point.
For a single club, that same breadth tends to mean configuration, admin overhead and a system built around the organisation rather than your weekly range night. Like other general sports platforms, it is not built around the shooting-specific records a club actually keeps: attendance for eligibility, club guns, and the things the Home Office expects from approved clubs.
Range Mate is deliberately narrow. It does one thing, running a UK target shooting club, and tries to do it really well, so the shooting side is built in rather than configured around.
