Which one is for you
Pick PushPress if
- 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
Look elsewhere if
- 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
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.
