Clubworx vs Gymdesk (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Clubworx if

• Fits if you run a martial arts club and want grading tools
• Works for a new studio with fewer than 20 members

Look elsewhere if

• Watch out: prices are in Australian dollars, with no US price listed
• Tight if you grow past 20 members, as the free plan ends
• Watch out: the member app costs extra on every plan
• Watch out: it doesn't process payments, and Ezidebit is named for Australia and New Zealand
• Skip it if you want multisite, which starts on Accelerating

Pick Gymdesk if

• Fits if you run a gym of under 250 members and want every feature at every tier
• Works for gym owners who can use Gymdesk Payments in the US or Canada

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you grow: $150 at 101 to 150 members and $200 up to 250
• Watch out: the lower prices need Gymdesk Payments, available in the US and Canada, and your own processor costs $25 more
• Watch out: each extra location costs $50 a month with Gymdesk Payments, or $100 otherwise
• Skip it if you have over 250 members, since that is sized with the vendor

Clubworx

• Prices are shown in Australian dollars; no US-dollar price is listed.
• The free plan is capped at 20 active members, and going over a plan's limit moves the account to the next plan.

• Clubworx does not process payments itself; it connects a provider, named as Ezidebit in Australia and New Zealand.

Gymdesk

• A branded member app is $100 a month with the first month free, and door access is $100 a month for up to 3 doors plus $29 per extra door and a one-time hardware cost.
