How we grade them
| 1.6GPAABC FitnessWeak | 2.4GPAPushPressFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CNo price is published, only a demo and a price request, so it sits in the middle until a price is on record. | CFree has no monthly fee, but cards cost 4.99% + 30¢ against 2.89% + 30¢ on Pro, which is $159 a month and in this category's dearest tenth. Pro works out cheaper once a gym takes about $7,600 a month by card. |
| Free plan and trial | FNo free plan and no trial is listed on the pages read. | BThe free plan has scheduling, billing, waivers, check-ins and both apps with unlimited members, so a gym could run on it. The cost is in the fees, 4.99% + 30¢ a card payment, and human support answers within 48 hours. |
| Features | COnline join and sales tools, member self-service, billing and reporting, and club operations. The pages read give no further detail. | CClass scheduling with waitlists, recurring billing, waivers, check-ins, events, personal training appointments, retail, rank tracking and an AI assistant. The gap: marketing is a separate product, Grow, and workout tracking is the Train add-on. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record, and the pages read show a demo to book and a system to set up. | CNo rating for the business app is on record, since the App Store listing found is the client-facing app. You set up services, staff and payments before taking bookings. |
| Platforms and integrations | CThe pages read do not state platforms or integrations, so it is graded as web only. | BWeb, plus member and staff apps for iPhone and Android, with Stripe, Mailchimp, Zapier, Slack, Google Calendar, Google Analytics and Facebook Ads. No desktop app. |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
