IZI vs SENET: club management system comparison

SENET and IZI are two cloud platforms for running a gaming venue. Both cover hall management, POS, the client database, loyalty, and analytics; they differ mainly in the billing model and in what each vendor puts at the centre of its product. Below is a parameter-by-parameter comparison, each item verifiable on the vendors’ own sites.

Who Chooses SENET and Why

SENET is a product of ENESTECH with a broad installed base. On its site the company states presence in 90+ countries and an interface in 18 languages; its gaming-centers page states “1 752 Esports centers run on SENET”, “45 000 Devices managed in real time” and “7.5 million Players connected every month”. For an operator entering an unfamiliar market, that means a large body of tested operational scenarios and local integrations.

What SENET puts on its product shopfront:

A controller for consoles and any HDMI device — “Unified system to manage consoles, simulators, projectors, and any HDMI device”. Consoles and simulators count as devices inside the same subscription.
SENET Boot — “Diskless and hybrid boot system that keeps all PCs fast, clean, and always updated”.
Managed Service — “Monitoring, updates, and remote troubleshooting handled by SENET engineers”: the vendor takes on day-to-day operations.
Payment integrations — the site lists Stripe, Kaspi, LiqPay and Mercado Pago.
Multilingual interface and content — 18 languages, plus guides on opening clubs, marketing, and equipment selection.

Who Chooses IZI and Why

IZI focuses on three things: per-club billing on the Russian market, running a network of venues from a single account, and the mobile app as the player’s primary interface.

For an owner with several venues, IZI provides one perimeter: one organization, multiple venues, shared rules, and consolidated reporting on revenue, ARPU, and hall load — in the dashboard, without exporting to Excel. Knowing which PCs are idle, which tariff generates the most revenue per seat, and when peak hours fall — and acting on data rather than intuition.

For venues with an active loyalty program — automated event-to-action rules: award bonus credits per session, move a client to another group at a threshold, send a notification. Rules are configured in the CRM interface, without a developer.

For players — the IZI mobile app: balance top-up and card storage, session auto-extension, online booking, bar orders. That reduces the load on front-desk staff.

Pricing: IZI vs SENET

Outside Russia IZI uses a per-device model: $1 per device per month. In Russia the model differs — per club: 2,000 ₽/mo. The trial period is 15 days. The subscription is modular: the base package covers core operations, and additional modules connect for an extra fee.

SENET charges per device and offers three plans — Basic, Business and Premium. The pricing page describes the model as follows: “SENET uses a device-based model. The subscription price depends on the selected plan (Basic, Business, or Premium) and the number of managed devices (PCs and consoles) in your gaming venue or educational space, grouped into tiers (up to 20, 30, 40 devices, etc.)”. The same page states that consoles count as devices alongside PCs and that plans can be changed from the next billing period.

SENET does not publish numeric pricing on its site — the cost is obtained from the vendor’s sales team. We therefore do not present a price-versus-price table here: a correct comparison is only possible once you have a SENET quote for your own device count. What you can compare up front is the billing base: SENET’s cost is computed from device count and grows with the hall, while IZI’s Russian per-club subscription does not depend on PC count, and outside Russia IZI is also billed per device.

Both companies offer a free trial: SENET advertises a Free Trial on its site, and the IZI trial period is 15 days.

What IZI Focuses On

Per-club billing on the Russian market. The Russian subscription is not computed from device count — cost does not grow linearly with hall size.
A network of venues in one account. One organization, multiple venues, shared rules and consolidated reporting.
Analytics for operational decisions. Hall load by hour and day of week, ARPU by tariff, client base dynamics — in one dashboard, with no XLS export.
No-code loyalty automation. Event-to-action rules are configured in the CRM interface.
The mobile app as the player’s primary interface. Saved card and one-tap payment, session auto-extension, booking, bar orders.
A public methodology wiki. IZI publishes not only product instructions but guides on running a venue as a business.

What SENET Focuses On

International reach. The stated 90+ countries and an 18-language interface are an argument for an operator opening across several jurisdictions.
Consoles and non-standard devices. A controller for consoles, simulators, projectors and any HDMI device inside the same subscription.
Managed service. Monitoring, updates and remote troubleshooting handled by the vendor’s engineers.
The education segment. Dedicated offerings for universities and schools — scenarios most products in the niche do not address.
A broad reference base. “1 752 Esports centers run on SENET” is a notable track record for an operator who decides by references.

When to Stay on SENET

Your venue is in a region where SENET already has tested local integrations and support
Your hall has many consoles, simulators and other HDMI hardware
You want operations outsourced: monitoring and updates on the vendor’s side
The project sits in an educational environment — a university, school, or campus lab
Your admin team already works in SENET and retraining costs more than the subscription difference

When to Look at IZI

Your venue is in Russia: the subscription is billed per club rather than per device
You are opening a second location, or already run a network and want to manage it from one account
You need analytics beyond “revenue for the day”: hourly hall load, ARPU by tariff, client base dynamics
You want to automate a bonus program without a developer
You want players to handle most tasks in the mobile app without going to the front desk

Both are worth testing on your own venue: the IZI trial period is 15 days, and SENET advertises a free trial on its site.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between SENET and IZI?

Both systems cover hall management, POS, client database, loyalty, and analytics. On its own site SENET emphasises international reach (90+ countries, an interface in 18 languages), management of consoles and any HDMI device through a dedicated controller, and a managed service in which SENET engineers handle monitoring and updates. IZI was built as a network platform: one organization account, multiple venues, shared automation rules, and consolidated reporting. Compare both against your own scenarios — each vendor offers a free trial.

How does IZI pricing compare to SENET?

The models differ. Outside Russia IZI charges per device — $1 per device per month; in Russia it charges per club — 2,000 ₽/mo. The IZI trial period is 15 days. SENET states on its site that it charges per device (Basic / Business / Premium plans, tiered by device count) but does not publish prices: senet.cloud/pricing says pricing is obtained from the sales team. A like-for-like price comparison is therefore only possible once you have a SENET quote for your device count. Figures captured 2026-08-20.

Does SENET have a loyalty program?

Yes. SENET's pricing page lists Loyalty program and Bonus balance for gamers, and its gaming-centers page lists configurable loyalty programs with points and tiers plus automated reward tracking linked to Shell and POS (senet.cloud, captured 2026-08-20). In IZI, loyalty is configured with event-to-action rules: award bonus credits per session, move a client to another group at a threshold, send a notification. Request a demo from both vendors and compare on your own scenarios.

Does IZI support payment integrations?

Yes. IZI supports payments through built-in integrations. The available payment methods depend on your country — check with the IZI team for the current list in your region.

How does IZI handle multi-venue?

IZI was built for networks: one account covers all venues in the organization. Analytics, automation rules, and the client database are unified across the entire chain.

SENET states it operates in 90+ countries — does that make it the better choice?

The size of an installed base is an argument for product maturity and for the number of operational scenarios already handled, especially for an operator entering an unfamiliar market. For a specific venue, what matters more is which tasks the system covers now and a year from now, and what it costs at your device count. Compare on your own numbers.

Do IZI and SENET both have a player mobile app?

Both do. SENET describes its app as a player app for quick login, top-ups, reservations, and basic account management (senet.cloud, captured 2026-08-20). In the IZI app a player tops up their balance, saves a card, extends a session, books a seat, and orders from the bar.

Can I migrate from SENET to IZI without losing my client database?

Yes. Client data migrates via CSV import with support from the IZI team. Balances and history are transferred in the agreed scope.
