## Key features

- **Online booking and waitlists:** Members book classes and events online, with waitlists and two-way text reminders; SMS is charged per message on every tier.

## Good for

- Small studios and clubs that can start on a free plan
- Martial arts schools that need grading and belt tracking
- Businesses in Australia and New Zealand using Ezidebit for direct debit

## Worth knowing

- 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.
- The member mobile app is a paid add-on on every tier.
- Clubworx does not process payments itself; it connects a provider, named as Ezidebit in Australia and New Zealand.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.2 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. Clubworx covers online booking, billing and member management for gyms and studios, with a free plan for up to 20 members. Prices are in Australian dollars, the member app is a paid add-on, and it doesn't process payments itself.

- **Value for money: C.** A$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.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** Free 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.
- **Features: C.** Booking, 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.
- **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record, and a membership and billing system needs setting up.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web plus iOS and Android, with Zapier, Brivo and Ezidebit links. No computer app.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Clubworx you would be making email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

- You could make: Class booking, appointment booking, reports and inventory: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: Email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox.
- You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- You could not: Hooks into the device itself: widgets.
