Which one is for you
Pick Gymcatch if
- Fits if you teach classes in the UK and want a low flat fee
- Works for instructors who want a client app included
Look elsewhere if
- Watch out: prices are in pounds and exclude VAT
- Watch out: memberships, discount codes, courses and waivers are £2 each a month
- Not for you if you're outside the UK and want its own payments, as other countries are coming soon
- Watch out: payment processing fees aren't in the monthly price
- Skip it if you want a free plan, as there isn't one
Pick TeamUp if
- Fits if you run a group fitness studio or CrossFit box with a few hundred members
- Works for operators with several locations, since locations are unlimited on the one plan
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if your member count grows: anyone who books or buys in a month counts, and above 500 it's $379
- Pricey if you want an app under your own name, at $99 a month on top
- Watch out: Marketing Suite and the Perform add-on cost extra, and their prices aren't on the pricing page
- Tight if you want time to decide, as the trial lasts 7 days and there's no free plan

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.
