The 5 best padel Americano apps and generators
Five ways to sort the draw, record scores or get a schedule onto paper before you leave for the club.
Format guidesBy Karl Heinrich LauriPublished 7 min read
For a classic points-based Americano on your phone, I’d start with Perkodar’s Americano Padel. If you’re booking courts by the hour and need the rounds to fit, I’d use PadelFormat. I run PadelFormat and have put our tool second in this comparison.
Key takeaways
- Check the cost for your actual court count. Americano Padel’s iPhone listing offers one court free and puts extra courts behind Premium.
- Eight players on two courts can get a complete partner rotation in seven rounds. With nine players and two courts, an exact rotation takes nine rounds and everyone rests once.
- Pick the thing you actually need on the night. UberPadel gives you a quick points-based setup, PadelFlow documents offline scoring, and Peldia gives you a draw you can print.

1. Americano Padel by Perkodar for classic points scoring
If your group already plays to a set number of points and you want a dedicated app on your phone, this is my first pick. You enter the players, courts and point target. The app draws the rounds and you enter the score after each match. If Alex and Blair win 14–10, they each bank 14 points for the individual table. Their opponents each get 10. That’s the bit people tend to ask about when they’ve only played normal sets.
Look for Perkodar AB in the store. There are several apps with near-identical names. Perkodar lists Standard, Team and Mixed Americano on its site, and the UK iOS listing says you can save and resume tournaments and let friends help keep score from their phones. It also spells out the catch. One court is free on iOS, and you need Premium for multiple courts. Four players on one court is a sensible way to see if you like the scoring before paying for a two-court night. Americano Padel · UK App Store listing
2. PadelFormat for timed club nights
I’d choose the PadelFormat Americano generator if the booking ends at 20:00 and the next group is usually waiting by 19:57. It runs in the browser, free and without an account. In Automatic setup you enter the headcount, the number of courts and the time you’ve paid for. It shows which rotations fit, how long the rounds are and how often people sit out. If your group prefers fixed points, use Custom setup and choose the scoring there.
In our browser dry run, eight players on two courts got seven 12-minute rounds with six one-minute breaks. We entered scores on both courts and confirmed the round. Then we reopened it, changed a 15–9 to 14–10 and confirmed it again. The leaderboard gave 14 and 10 to the right players and kept the other court’s 13–11. That’s the sort of edit I’d want to be able to make with the next round already on screen.
The spectator link is view-only. That suits one organiser with a phone and a group that wants to see the table. If you need two captains entering scores from their own phones, check Perkodar’s shared scoring instead. On PadelFormat you can use Team Americano to keep pairs together, or Mixed Americano to give every pair one player from each of two equally sized groups. I’d pick that last mode for a coaching group where you want a more experienced player on each side of the net.
3. UberPadel for a quick game with a live link
The useful bit of UberPadel’s quick Americano form is that you can set up the draw before everyone has told you how to spell their name. It accepts numbered players or a pasted list, with no signup for the quick game. In our browser check the eight-player, two-court form showed 14 matches. I could set the target to 24 points instead of the default 32. The site says a shared link lets players follow live scores.
If people will play until the point target is reached, this is an easy form to hand to the person organising for the first time. They can see the match count before they hit Start. They still need to decide whether 14 matches fit the slot. With two courts, that’s seven rounds running one after another. The length of each round depends on when the slower court finishes.
4. PadelFlow for poor reception
PadelFlow is where I’d look if the signal drops as soon as you step inside the club. Its documentation says the generator computes rounds and stores results on your device, so a loaded session keeps working offline. It offers a browser tool and iOS and Android apps. The Americano guide describes 24-point matches and a leaderboard on the device.
PadelFlow makes the next round as you go. It uses who has played and who has rested to spread court time and avoid repeats. Points do not seed the pairings in this mode. That’s fine if you’re happy to call out the next draw after collecting scores. If the group wants the full running order before warm-up, choose a tool that shows every round upfront.
5. Peldia for a draw you can print
Peldia’s printable Americano generator gives you a page with the pairs, courts and rests for each round. You can leave the players numbered or enter names, then print. Its eight-player preset opened with eight rounds on two courts in our check. I set Rounds to seven and clicked Redo the draw. It reported no repeated partners, which is exactly what I’d want from a seven-round social.
The free draw does the planning job. If you want to run the event online and keep a live table in Peldia, the organiser needs an account. For a one-off where everybody just needs to know where to stand, I’d print two copies and put one by each court.
What I’d pick for eight or nine players in 90 minutes
Say you’ve booked two courts for an hour and a half. With eight players, everyone can play every round. Seven rounds gives each person seven different partners. At 12 minutes a round plus six one-minute changeovers, you’ve used every minute. If you need time to warm up within the booking, budget for it before you pick the round length. I’d set 11-minute rounds and keep seven minutes in hand.
Now a ninth person says they can make it. You still have eight places on court. In PadelFormat’s setup preview, nine 9-minute rounds and eight one-minute changes used 89 minutes. Everyone got eight matches and one rest. The seven-round option kept the rounds at 12 minutes and gave people six or seven matches. It covered 28 of the 36 possible partnerships. I’d take the shorter rounds if the point of the evening was to mix the group. If people came for longer games, I’d keep the 12-minute rounds and say up front that some players will sit once while others play all seven.
Try your own numbers in the Americano generator before you send the group the start time. If you’re still deciding between rotating partners, fixed pairs or matches based on the standings, compare the padel tournament formats first.
How we checked the apps
We checked the public tools and listings on 10 November 2026. We ran the eight-player browser scoring example and checked the nine-player schedule options in PadelFormat. We changed the points setting in UberPadel and redrew Peldia’s printable schedule. Perkodar’s mobile app features and PadelFlow’s offline operation come from their store and product documentation. This was a desk check with dummy names. The time examples are booking maths.
