Who fitDEGREE is for
- Fits if you run a studio in the US or Canada and want every feature in one plan
- Works for studios with many members, as there are no per-member fees
Who fitDEGREE is not for
- Pricey if you start small: $200 a month plus $500 setup
- Watch out: each extra location is $150 a month, and a branded app another $150
- Watch out: card payments are 2.9% plus $0.30, and a returned ACH payment costs $25
- Skip it if you're outside the US and Canada, as only US dollar pricing is shown
- Tight if you want a free trial, as the 45 days come with the setup fee

Keep fitDEGREE, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace fitDEGREE 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.
It costs $2,400 a year.
What you could make
- Class booking, appointment booking and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- Hooks into the device itself: widgets.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. fitDEGREE’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
