- 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

- Fits if you run a CrossFit box or strength gym with daily classes and recurring memberships
- Works for martial arts academies that track belts and ranks alongside billing

- Pricey if you stay on Free with lots of card payments, at 4.99% + 30¢ each against 2.89% + 30¢ on Pro
- Skip it if you want email, text and WhatsApp automations included: they're in Grow, at $329 a month
- Watch out: workout tracking (Train) is $79 a month for up to 20 clients, and a branded member app is $97 a month
- Not for you if your gym is outside the US, as prices are in US dollars and other gyms are asked to contact sales
- Tight if you need quick help on Free, where human support answers within 48 hours
How we grade them
| 2.2GPAClubworxFair | 2.4GPAPushPressFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CA$88 a month for 100 members on yearly billing, A$109 monthly. In US dollars that's in the middle of the category, and the member app is extra. | 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 | CFree for up to 20 active members with booking, payments and a kiosk, plus 15 days of a premium plan with no card. 20 members is a cap you'll pass. | 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 | CBooking, billing, CRM, kiosk and martial arts grading tools. But the member app is an add-on on every tier, and payments go through an outside provider. | 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 a membership and billing system needs setting 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 | BWeb plus iOS and Android, with Zapier, Brivo and Ezidebit links. No computer app. | 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. |
| Best for | martial arts clubs and small gyms | CrossFit boxes and martial arts gyms |

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.
