How we grade them
| 2.6GPAGymcatchGood | 2.4GPAMomenceFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | A£10 plus VAT a month for unlimited bookings and customers, well under the $25 where the category's cheaper quarter starts.

The extras that do have prices add up: a branded app is $250 a month and automated bookkeeping $85. |

But memberships, codes, courses and waivers are paid bolt-ons. | BClasses, appointments, workshops and space rentals on one calendar with spot picking, memberships, packs and payment plans, an inbox with an AI agent, automated follow-ups, and on-demand video and courses. That covers the whole studio booking job. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record, and class and payment setup take work. | 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. |

No computer app. | BWeb, plus a free client app for iPhone and Android, with Stripe, QuickBooks, Xero, Zoom, Zapier, Mailchimp, ClassPass and Kisi.

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.
