Flobit vs LinkFit: what's the difference?
In short
LinkFit is a sports social network from Baku: a feed, chat, clubs, open games, an ELO rating per sport and padel court booking at partner venues. Flobit is a free app for finding players, keeping live scores and running tournaments across eight sports, and it doesn't book courts. Choose LinkFit for a photo and video feed and booking, Flobit for scoring, events and no paid tiers.

What is LinkFit?
LinkFit describes itself as "the social network for people who play". It is made by VisionX Technologies MMC in Baku, and its website covers 11 sports, from football and padel to running and finding a gym partner.
What the app does, according to its App Store listing and website:
- A feed. Photos and videos in a full-screen feed, with comments and voice messages, coauthors and follows.
- Games. Discover and create games for padel, tennis, running and more, choosing the place, time, level and sport-specific details. Open games show the sport, time and level, and how many places are left.
- Ratings. An ELO "calculated separately for each sport", weighing your opponents' strength.
- Court booking. Padel and tennis courts in Azerbaijan, with availability and prices depending on the venue. The website lists three partner padel venues in Baku: PADELPOINT, The Ritz-Carlton Baku and Top Padel Club Baku.
- Fitness. Record a run or ride with GPS, import running and cycling summaries from Apple Health, and, since version 2.5.0, gym timers and an exercise library.
- Venue tools. A separate app, LinkFit Partners, runs bookings for padel, tennis and pickleball venue owners in Azerbaijan.
It is free to download on iPhone and Android and has optional paid tiers (see below). Users must be at least 16.
What is Flobit?
Flobit is a free app for people who play: find players and open matches, keep live scores, run tournaments and organize communities. It is made in Baku, Azerbaijan, and runs on iPhone (iOS 17 or later), Apple Watch and the web at flobit.app. An Android version is coming soon. There are no ads and no subscription.
What it does:
- Eight live sports: padel, tennis, table tennis, basketball, volleyball, football, ultimate frisbee and eFootball. Badminton and pickleball are coming soon.
- Open matches. A host posts the sport, rules, time and a city or venue, can set a level range, and approves the players who ask to join. A Quick Match lobby fills a game from your own group by code, QR code or link.
- Live scoring. Point by point for tennis and padel with undo, spoken score calls, Apple Watch scoring that works offline and a public live page.
- Ratings. A self-declared level and a per-sport ELO that moves with confirmed results, plus a separate sportsmanship rating.
- Tournaments. Single and double elimination, league, group stage plus knockout and Mexicano, with referees, lineups and automatic trophies.
Flobit doesn't book courts and doesn't record GPS runs, rides or gym sessions (a match can be saved as a workout in Apple Health). Its venue map shows courts, surfaces and directions, and you reserve with the club.
Where do Flobit and LinkFit differ?
Both help you find a game and keep a rating per sport. The difference is what surrounds it: LinkFit builds a social network and a booking service around the game, and Flobit builds the scoring and the event.
Social network or scorekeeper
LinkFit is built around a feed of photos and videos, with comments and voice messages. Flobit is built around matches, scores and communities. Its direct messages carry text, share cards, reactions and replies, and its community chat carries text, mentions, replies and shared cards, with no photos or voice in either. Its social side lives in communities with chat, member standings and a top-players podium.
Sports
LinkFit lists 11 sports, including running, squash, beach tennis and a gym-partner option, as well as pickleball and badminton, which are coming soon to Flobit. Flobit has eight live sports, including volleyball, ultimate frisbee and eFootball, which LinkFit's list doesn't.
Ratings
Each app keeps an ELO per sport that weighs the opponent. Flobit adds a declared starting level (1.0 to 7.0 for padel and tennis), moves faster over a player's first 10 matches, measures doubles against the opponents' average and reverses a result if it is disputed. See the ratings page. The numbers aren't comparable between apps.
Finding a game
On LinkFit you browse open games or follow players. On Flobit a host posts an open match, the host approves each player, and there is no automatic matching and no level filter when browsing: the host's level range is shown on the listing as guidance.
Booking
LinkFit books padel courts at partner venues. Its terms say the venue, not LinkFit, is the merchant, and that payment is by default made at the venue, with online card payment offered only where LinkFit enables it. Flobit doesn't book.
Scoring and tournaments
Flobit's scorer works during the match: point by point, spoken score calls, Apple Watch and a live page friends can follow. LinkFit's flow is to log the score. For tournaments, Flobit gives organizers brackets, leagues, groups and Mexicano with referees; LinkFit's pages mention tournaments but not their formats.
Is LinkFit free, and is Flobit?
LinkFit is free to download, and its website says "Free for iPhone and Android". Its App Store listing, read on 11 October 2026, shows in-app purchases: LinkFit Premium Monthly at USD 9.99, LinkFit Premium Yearly at USD 79.99 and a VIP Badge at USD 20.00.
LinkFit describes Premium in two ways. Its terms call it an optional paid membership with tiers (such as Plus, Premium and Elite) that unlock cosmetic badges and higher limits on optional features, for example how many custom games you can create, and say membership never restricts your ability to reserve courts, join games or use safety features. Its App Store release notes say Premium unlocks Smart Coach, meal plans, advanced analytics and Apple Watch benefits. LinkFit sells Premium as an auto-renewing subscription through Apple until you cancel.
Court prices are set by the venue and shown at booking.
Flobit is free, with no ads, no subscription and no service fee, because it doesn't sell bookings or take payments for courts, entry fees or prizes. A tournament can show an entry fee, but the organizer collects it offline. Its App Store listing shows optional supporter tips, which unlock no features.

Flobit also starts from a declared level (1.0 to 7.0 for padel and tennis), moves faster in a player's first 10 matches and reverses a result if it is disputed.
